Owned and Operated by Mike Noonkester, Specializing in Quality Turkey Heads with Removable Inserts
Our freeze-dried turkey heads come with removable rigid foam inserts, including the skull, auto-post for correct eye set, and concave or convex eyes. In addition, every turkey head insert is removable for the hollow mount method.
For all poses, to remove the turkey head from the insert, simply unscrew the drywall screw.
To reattach the removed insert, use a #TNSTR plug wire leaving a 3/8” gap in the insert and resume mounting the head. After the bird is mounted up, adjust the skin on the back of the insert and pin it down. Then slide the head over the insert and edges of the skin.
If you need to change the turkey’s eye expression, just dampen it with alcohol, adjust, and let it air dry.
