What color fletching do you use on your arrows when hunting turkeys.I know they can see color.White red and blue really isn,t safe,when people are out there with shotguns.
I use whatever I am hunting deer with; currently they are red hen feathers and a white cock feather, however, they are concealed in a SafariTuff quiver. I am going to get a feather cutter, though, and cut some natural barred feathers off some turkey wings, and they will probably end up on spring turkey arrows.
mmmmm, natural barred turk fletching on woodies. yummy.
here's some on hildebrand stika spruce - good for turks, deer, HOGS and whatever! :D

I made some Surewoods(plain jane style) with goose feathers, and I like them better than any other feather arrow combo I have.
I fletch all my arrows with either natural barred or black. Makes no difference what I'm hunting. Have always made plain arrows with all feathers the same color. Never saw a need to have a different color cock feather.
And the turkey don't seem to notice them.... never had one complain anyway.
for me, the only not-so-good thing about natural barred or natural canada goose feathers is they're tough to see/find when the hit/miss a mark. but they're so darned cool and just aesthetically CLASSIC for all hunting woodies!
i was using solid yellow fletches on carbons, but lately i've switched over to hot pink - they're incredibly visible no matter where they land, even without a bright cap wrap!
