Need some feathers
 

If any of you Turkey Hunters end up with wing feathers you're thinkin about pitching out, please let me know. I along with several friends use them for traditional gear and you never have enough. You typically only get maybe 6-8 feathers off each wing so a lot of birds have to fall to make a dozen arrows.

Anyone willing to part with some please drop me a line.. You don;t have to ship the whole wing just clip the primary feathers and drop them in an envelope. Of course I would pay postage.

Thanks

Sounds like a plan. If you remember send me a PM to remind me and with an address around the first week or so in April. Thats when our season opens and I'll forget by then.

Thanks for the offer. It takes numerous birds to have enough feathers so the more the better. I will drop you a PM on the first and thanks again..

If anyone else comes across a few I know several guys that can use them....

Thanks jim

just remind us cause i dont use mine i can send some out

RE: Need some feathers
 

me too, i will gladly send you some if you remind me about it during the season.

PM an adress to me and you will be pleasanty surprised - I have a box full and since the guy who wanted them never came to pick them up they are yours.

There has to be over a hundred or more in there - wingbone calls does that for ya.

And I have several boxes of wings yet to get too.

Thanks guys. As I am sure you know it is illegal to sell them but I will gladly take care of postage and if you bowhunt and want some cut and sanded for fletching I'll hook you up..

Don't need the whole wing, all you have to do is clip the5-6 primaries and maybe a few secondaries off each wing maybe . Only the largest/longest feathers are used those few out at the end that typically drag the ground when they strut. Like I said before it takes a bunch of birds to get enough for a dozen arrows.

Thanks

OK guys in most places the season start within a week or so. I never received any of the feathers mentioned above so if anyone has some or gets lucky this season please keep me in mind.

Good Luck and Thanks

I found an area yesterday the birds have been roosting in and i found about 40 wing feathers you're more than welcome to. I can send them all to you or just the better quality ones it's up to you. Drop me a PM and we'll figure something out.

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 :Dand 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.

Bownanza,
Missed your post and thank youfor the offer. If you still have them let me know. Depending on what turns out from the last two guys I may not need them, but I do appreciate your offer.

Thanks and have a great season

Sorry I never caught this one and tossed both birds after taking the meat. I'll try to keep an eye out next year. I never even thought about people wanting them for arrows.
