RE: turkey skinz for decoys
 

Well...I think you're gong to have to better care of them than just throwing them in the back of the truck if you want them to last.;)

My thoughts were to make sure they're completely dry, roll them up, and then stick them in the leg of apair of mama's old stockings to keep the feathers laid down. It's the same tip that any knowledgable taxedermist will give you in preparingany turkey to be mounted.

LOL well i didnt really mean "tossing" them around:D...i was just implying that i wasn't sure how real turkey feathers would hold up when they are getting handled all the time

I've got two turkey wings that have traveled many a mile in the back of my vest over the last several years and are still in good condition, so if they can meet that in duarability, I think they will be fine.

I've seen those turkey skins... it doesn't look worth the price. Also, I don't know how good it would do with the elements. I did see those pretty boy decoys. I think that'll be on the way soon.
