Are thesepoult feathers? Found them scouting with a some blood. I doubt the owner lived.

Those are not turkey feathers , they might be wing feathers from a snow goose.

Definetly not turkey feathers...

primary wing feathers of a snow goose was my guess. Just a guess but defintley not turkey as said.

They were found in a pine plantation, so I'm thinking maybe woodpecker, maybe pileated.

I'm wavering on the id, maybe a pileated woodpecker, see...
