I need your primary wing feathers!!!

[Tree Killer]

I use the primary wing feathers for fletching wood arrows.  Get quite a few from guys here in Oregon, but could sure use plenty more, especially the beautiful Merriam feathers.  If you get some birds and have no use for the wing primaries, PM me and I'll give you my mailing address.  I'll reimburse you for postage.   Thanks!

Those look great. Have you used goose before?

Is there any special way you want the wing feathers? Can a guy use a pair of shears and lop them off near their origin?

I have made arrows fletched with goose, but most are with turkey.

Absolutely, just snip them off at the base.  A mature tom usually has 8 or 9 primaries per wing, a jake might only have 6 usable primary feathers per wing.

I haven't used my feather burner in years...have a bunch of feather choppers that work great without the stink.

I'll even sweeten the pot.  Send the entire wings and I'll build you a personalized wingbone yelper in exchange. 



I need all the bones from the breast on down...

I will have a dozen plus wings I'll send down in a couple weeks. If you'd prefer, I'll cut the feathers you want and remove the 3 bones from each wing. I won't need as many yelpers as wings I send though.

Man those yelpers look cool!

Very nice work treekiller! I'll gladly send you several wings here soon. I'd love to have one of those wingbone yelpers.

Sounds great.  Just PM me and I'll get back to you...if I don't don't reply within a day freeze the bones.  I might be gone bear or turkey hunting later this month and early May.

Thanks Jason...you need one some day!

Thanks HH!  Look forward to hearing from you.

Good luck and have fun!
