Hello,
I have been given a resin "jake" turkey decoy. While well made I wish to make it more lifelike. A taxidermist is sending me an airbrush and also instructions for painting this decoy more lifelike anda friend is mounting a bearing so it will move easily. I am adding a short beard. I note there are holes in the decoy for legs. Does anyone have a clue as to where I can locate some lifelike legs for this decoy?
Also, we hunt both Merriams and Santa Fe Turkeys within 1 1/2 hrs of each other. Are there any major differences in the jakes of thes two species as to coloration?
Thanks in advance,
GEne S.
