Stuffer Decoy pose?

[mnhunter2]

I have a jake and hen turkey skins to make into stuffer decoys and was wondering what pose I should mount them in.

Not sure exactly what a stuffer decoy is but given a choice I would have the hen in a relaxed or feeding position. If they have their heads up, I believe aproaching turkeys will wonder what has her attention...something bad?

Mount the jake in a strutting position. The hen won't matter too much. The toms will go right to the jake. I use a mounted Tom (strutting) with one or two hens. They have almost always gone to the strutter first. Last year I did have 5 jakes come in together and the biggest jake mounted my two hens. It was a hoot!!For a hen pose go to Hazel Creek taxidermy [note from admin- please read forum policy before posting again]

They sell monted hens and he has pictures of his hen.
