How To Mount A Turkey Fan * THE EASY WAY *

In this video I demonstrate an EASY way to mount a turkey fan. This method is quick and cheap. All in, it only takes about 2 hours to complete! This turkey fan was from my first Public Land Osceola Turkey and now it holds a special place on the wall. Thanks for watching everybody!

They look good in the garage!

I may be wild, I may be a turkey sometimes, and I may be a fan. Depends what you mean by mounting. 🤣LOL

[@DeansMayhem]

😄 haha

Allie your awesome, it’s so cool to see a beautiful lady teaching so much about the hunting lifestyle it’s really an inspiration to other ladies and shows they can do it too.

They both look nice. Personally I've never mounted any of my animals but I do like & can also appreciate how a taxidermist does their work 👍🏻

[@brokercop]

Allie, it looks like you used about (14...1,505, ...carry the one) around $10,000 worth of ammo as the weight to hold that fan down. Make sure and lock that up while it's drying.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

LOL Thanks for watching!

[@cazaypescaextremajp8032]

When do you come to hunt one in taxas?

[@dariusnorris6145]

Can you also use wax

[@apoinla]

I’m looking for information to hunt on public lands in CA. I’ve heard about Apps but I’m not sure I trust the accuracy as everyone knows even the slightest mistake can result in harsh punishment in California including losing 2A right. Sorry for the long comment but that’s my reasoning and need.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

There are plenty of accurate apps to look at!

[@apoinla]

@@OutdoorsAllie why not have a video that discusses the apps and how they work and which one you recommend, thx

[@OutdoorsAllie]

@@apoinla I've used Huntwise for years. OnX is also a great option!

[@apoinla]

@@OutdoorsAllie Very thankful, your a little crazy, but in a good way. Keep up the good work. FYI I subscribe to your KZbin but still I have to search for your channel to find you your never on my recommended list or recently updated. Your videos are coming up now but in a few days they will drop off. God Bless you and your family!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

​@@apoinla LOL thank you Abe

[@rowdybroomstick6394]

We don't get to hunt for another month here in Arkansas 😢 Bird's are usually completely done by then imo. It was a good video, I learned something. I've never done all that extra that you did though, probably because no one ever showed me I guess. I usually just spread the fan out on a board and drove a bunch of little nails to hold the fan open and put it up real high in the barn and come get it after about 6 months 😂 Thanks for slobbery dog kiss at the end😂 I'm jk.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Nick hung a couple in the shed before and unfortunately the bugs destroyed them.

[@lelandcorso1797]

Fa nominal job Allie. I must agree with you... I like the depth of the skull hooker mount.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

For sure. Thanks for watching Leland!

[@rivasoutdooradventures]

I love how detailed, yet simple you make these type of videos! I want to surprise my husband and mount his first Osceola from this year! He attempted to do this but it didn’t go so well. Lol Good thing he still has the fan lol thank you for this video! I will give it a shot!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

That would be awesome!! Go for it!!

[@Blessed_by_Yeshua]

You could even mount a little light behind the black mount to illuminate the feathers.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Cool idea!

[@jjb7720]

Thanks for this Allie! I'm in TX and just getting into turkey hunting. Greatly appreciate the info! ;)

[@ronbennett3010]

Hmm, may have to try the borax. I've always used salt. Your cleaning is more extensive and takes longer than how I do it, but your borax for 10 minutes and the body filler has it up on the wall MUCH faster. Salt takes a month or 2 to dry, but I am never in a hurry. I may have to look into the skull hooker. All I've used is HS Strut. Great job on some nice mounts. Those Florida birds are hard on our radar.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks for watching Ron! This way has always worked well for me!

[@ronbennett3010]

@@OutdoorsAllie I had 3 in the salt before seeing your video, so next year perhaps.

How long do you leave borax on?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

I usually end up letting it sit for 20-30 minutes then brush of the excess off and throw the bondo on!

[@Hburn412]

@@OutdoorsAllie thank you. I’ve had it on there for like 3 hrs and it’s still not fully dry. Is it okay to put the bondo on? It’s my first turkey so I have no idea lol.

What is the bracket that you used on the first mount? I tried looking up different brackets but can’t find a similar one. Would I find that at a local hardware store or Home Depot? Thanks

Do you scrape off the Borax or leave it on?

[@OutdoorsAllie]

I just shake it a bit and some naturally will fall off. Nothing crazy.

[@TheLgcookie10]

@@OutdoorsAllie thank you! I wasn’t sure if you re-scraped the meat after the borax dried a bit so that helps.

Hey Allie, what can I say, you're just awesome. You do it all, from field, to butchered,to stove to the wall. What more could a guy ask for. Love you, your channel and videos. Take care and be safe.
