Fixing his tail
 
I was wondering if its possible to get a turkeys tail to lookthe way it did on the bird when he was alive and dryafter it has gotten wet?

Not sure for a tail but I use wing feathers as fletching for my arrows. When they get wet you just wait for them to dry and with two fingers go along side the feather and straighten in out.....dang its easy to do but hard to explain.... the feathersshould knit back together after they are dry, but it may take some messing with.

take a hair dryer and blow back and forth.them slide them between your fingers and they will preen together.
