Default 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

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
jim

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
