Turkey feathers

[Swabby]

Time for a heads up.  All your shotgun huntin friends, folks you just know, guys you don't even know most of em throw the feathers away.  Ask em if you can have them.  Will set you up for all the feathers you can use.  Try any huntin clubs that mite be near you, outfitters, use your imagination.  Even strangers like to see parts of their game used that they are going to throw away.  Swabby

Good call Swabby, you're absolutely right.

I participated in a gun hunt a couple of years ago and the crew got 4 mature gobblers. I got all of the primaries, and have been using them ever since.

Feathers from jakes are noisy in flight.

Secondaries will fletch just fine also.  Granted the primaries are brighter in color and stiffer, but the secondaries will shoot great in a fletch that is burned fairly short.

OBTW - In a good large secondary you can make a fletch out of both sides if you cut and trim it right - one LW and one RW.

Try it if you don't believe it.
