What do you use for the wing?

I either use the tips of the wings of a tom, or pheasant wings...  I like the pheasant wings better.

I cut off a gobbler wing at the joint, then bondo it once I have it spread out where I want it.
I've thought about using a small birds wing, but I've got a bunch of turkey ones, so why not. If I find a roadkill hen, I'll grab hers this spring.

X however many on Thermacell.  Permethrin is a must have given the rise in tick borne illnesses.

I can't say any one thing but I have a short list, my Glenda Green butt cushion, a thermacell, and wet wipes.

Funny...  I cut the wings off a dead hen I found, used them for years, and lost them on a hunt.  I did like them better than any other wings tried, and if I find another dead hen, will likely take advantage... 

Pheasant wings work almost as good, especially if you spread and dry them (and they are lighter than turkey wings)...  Once again, I need a new pair, as looks like the rats or squirrels got to my last pair...

Wings are easy. On the inside of the wing, right at the tip, cut parellel to the primary feathers and just on top of them but under the bone they are attached to. You might have to clip a tiny bone at the end...or just dull your knife.

You end up with the 10 primaries held together by the skin. No bone. Dry the wing slightly spread and it will remain that way until you leave by a tree somewhere.   

Weighs about 3 ounces (it's just feathers and a bit of dried skin) and you can clip the feathers if you want it a bit shorter. Paint it too if the turkey color bothers you for safety.

I would post a pic but can't seem to do that since the board was redone.
