huntinguide Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Re: cleaning turkey fans sometimes i let the maggots clean mine up. Its kindof dirty to watch but if you leave them alone for a week or so there wont be any meat or even any stink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] ok? i was wondering the same thing... one of my fans... has maggots all over it... so i thought theyd ruin it and id have to throw it away? once all the meats gone will the maggots go away or will i have to get them off of there? i picked it up the other day and i could hear them moving around and then they started falling everywhere... i was so grossed out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntinguide Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Re: cleaning turkey fans when they mature they will fly off as flies. i dont know how long that takes but i think its a couple of days. And yes they would help the skull probably not as much as a flesh eating beetle will but it will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
