MDC virtual program on May 16 to focus on mounting turkey fans

Get tips on how to make a decorative keepsake out of a gobbler’s tail feathers.
Along with its gobble, another noticeable characteristic of a male turkey in spring is it’s eye-catching fan of tail feathers.

Turkey hunters who want information on how they can transform the tail feathers of the gobbler they harvest on future hunts into a decorative keepsake should sign up for the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) virtual program “Hunting: Turkey Fan Mounting.” This online program will be from 7-7:30 p.m. on May 16. This program will not be recorded. People can register for this program at: https://mdc-event-web.s3licensing.com/Event/EventDetails/184019.
At this program, MDC Southwest Regional Educational Supervisor and long-time turkey hunter Warren Rose will discuss the steps a turkey hunter has to take after the turkey is harvested to create a turkey fan mount. Rose will also discuss what supplies are needed for the mounting process.
Though this program is free, registration is required to participate using the link above. Registrants must provide an e-mail, so a program link can be sent to them. This program will include a chat-based question-and-answer period where participants can interact with the presenters.
Staff at MDC facilities across the state are holding virtual and in-person programs. A listing of these programs can be found at mdc.mo.gov/events.
