I just shot my first longbeard yesterday while getting pelted by hail and rain but I definitely want to mount the fan. I've been researching and it looks like some people cut out part of the bone at the base of the quills and some people don't. I would be afraid that I would cut too much out and the feathers would come loose or fall out. Is there a "correct" way? Do bugs get into the cartilidge/boney area even after sitting in borax for 3 weeks? I just want to make sure however I prepare it that it won't smell and it won't attract bugs or rot. Any tips or advice would be GREATLY appreciated. (It's currently in the freezer with the beard while I do research)
