Goose hunters. Most discard the feathers.

Well next weekend I will take a break from deer killing and try to shoot a few.  I have one from each bird last year.  About 20 primaries, but a mix of left and right.  I just pulled one to put on the board to keep track.  I never thought about fletching arrows with them.  This year I will try to collect a few more.
