I was up at my deer camp for 10 days and shot a jake the 2nd or 3rd day... I had quite a few days left to hunt so I decided to take the fan and fan it out and salt it down... I put a few magazines on it to keep it in place... I put the feet and beard on top of the magazines and put the fan up on a shelf... Well I went to take a look at it a few days later and found the fan totaly distroyed by mice... They eat the feet down to the bone and ate the meet holding the beard together... The only thing that was salvagable was the little spursI was surprised at how much damage those littledudes can do
