Preserving wings for dummies

[monkie75 1]

Hi all,

 

I want to preserve some pheasant/partridge wings to use on my dummies but in the past they always go horrible after a few months. Is ther any thing I can treat them with to preserve them that wont harm the dog??

 

Hope someone can help.

Hi monkie75. I use rough grouse wings over here. I don't use anything to preserve them and they seem to hold up ok.

You might try rubbing salt on the meaty part to help it dry out. this is how we preserve tails. We fan the feathers out and hang them up in our houses. I'm not sure why, but, I think it got started with turkey tails.

 

But, the salt will dry them out and they should last a long time.

 

Good Luck!

i cut the meaty bits off them and rub a little salt in them, dry them in the shed or keep a big bag of fresh wings in the freezer.

I just throw em on top the boiler for a couple of days no smells, no falling to bits except when used a lot, no problems
