    My question is, how do you get that fan to stay so nice and full like that?

    It's kind of "icing on the cake", Bwana.. I use a trick taught me years ago, by a taxidermist, to cool out my turkeys before I dress them. Pull out the intestines (these are the important part - but I usually take gizzard, heart and liver also). Stick a frozen 20 oz bottle of ice (or ziploc bag of ice) in the cavity. Hang him up in the shade.. Wait about 30 minutes and replace the bottle (it will be melted) with another.. Completely cools out the meat and will remain that way for hours.. Bonus is - if you spread the wings and tail nicely as it hangs, they stiffen and stay that way for pics...
    If you turn a dog loose to hunt – you’d better to be ready to deal with what he trees.
