Default RE: Need some feathers

Ray and Schobs please check your PM

Thanks to the turkey slayers who have offerred wing feathers, you guys are great!I got a bag (BOX)full from one fellow whowill remain nameless and boy was it a surprise. Apparently, I told him to just clip them off the wing tips which he did! What I meant was just the feathers not theactual wing tips (Flesh/meat). I would imagine if the weather had been a lot cooler it wouldn't have been a big deal. But the recent warm weather and several days in a UPS Truck made for an interesting package. I knew something was up when I picked up the box and immediately detected a dead animal. I threw it in the front seat of my vehicle and within minutes knew there was something in the box more than feathers!

Couldn't takelong so I ran by the house andcautiously opened the box. WOW! that thing was hummin! It was wiggling also... Those wing parts were alive, really alive.... I shook off the critters and laid them out in the sun for several hours. By late evening they had cooled off and I was able to clip the "Feathers" off.

They turned out great and I am grateful. Will be shipping out his set of 5" Shield cut from the bunch.

I'm sure the UPS Man is still wondering what the heck was in that box.. but glad he got ride of it.??

Thanks again.
