SHOT Show is always a great place to find new and
innovative products for the outdoor industry, and 2008 in
Las Vegas was no exception. Isn't everyone looking for
products that helps give hunters an edge. Turkey hunting is
one of the most challenging outdoor sports. Every turkey
hunter is looking for an edge … looking for what will improve
his or her chance of fooling a big Tom and bringing him in
close. Decoys play an important role and experts agree that
the more life-like your decoy is, the better your odds are.
Using a real turkey tail is one of the best ways to make your
decoy look real.
Turkey Tail Saver™ was designed and built specifically to
give turkey hunters an edge … a convenient, safe way to get
their real turkey tails to and from the hunt and to help
protect and preserve their valuable tails for several seasons
of work.

Chuck Younke, a turkey hunter and taxidermist with over 30 years of experience, knows how important making his decoys look as real as possible is.
“I was one of the first guys to take advantage of the new full body decoys when they came out,” Chuck said, “They are more realistic looking but,
even with that, the tails just weren’t right and the toms could tell.” One of the first changes Chuck made was to replace the artificial tail with a
real one. “The difference was amazing,” said Chuck. “We had toms coming in and picking fights with our decoys.” Footage Chuck has from his hunts
with the real tail tell the story.
Chuck loved the results but didn’t have a good way to use his real tails without ruining them. “I’m a taxidermist so I appreciate the work that goes
into preserving a tail and really hate to see them get ruined,” Chuck said. “I wanted to develop a way to help other hunters have the “edge” of using
a real tail while protecting it so it can be used on many hunts.” And that is just what Chuck did by developing Turkey Tail Saver™. Hunters now
can have a hands free way to safely transport and use their real turkey tails.
How much of an edge does using the Turkey Tail Saver™ give you? Chuck just smiles and says “last season I took grandson out on his first turkey
hunt. We were using the Turkey Tail Saver™ and a full Body decoy. A big tom came strutting in, attacked the decoy and my grandson shot it. It
turned out to be the largest turkey taken in Iowa in 2007. I guess the proof is in the results.”
