Title: In search of turkey feathers take 2
Post by: Brian Gillispie on November 14, 2007, 04:32:00 PM
Hey all,


    Last week when heading to my tree I found a nice somewhat ratty Turkey Tail Feather.  My cat Arthur has just gone totally Bonkers over this thing.

    I was wondering if anyone has a few handfulls of these things laying around.  I know that the wing feathers are used for fletching.  Do the Tail feathers have a use also?

    I would love to lay hands on a few more of these tail feathers.  Arthur the cat is quite hard on the bird tail.  Let me know if any of you guys have some dust gathering on a work bench.

Thanks,

Brian Gillispie

Brian,

A buddy of mine made some tail feather fletchings and they were definatly purdy!  A lot more then you'd think.

Hey all,


    Drew,  I just got your package in the mail.  OMG I was expecting a few feathers in an envelope.  What I got was incredible.  What I received was a Grocery bag FULL of turkey tail feathers.  Arthur now has a lifetime of tasty turkey feathers to play with.  

Drew, you are one in a million.  Thank you for your generosity.
