ricktrojanowski:
I am a feather horder. ;D The way I store is to seperate L and R then put them in those plastic storage bins with the tight closing lids with a bunch of moth balls. So far I have not had any problems.
stickbender:
Like they said, Moths, and mites.
We have what we call dust moths down here in Fla. they make a little cocoon, and crawl around, and then when they become little moths, they eat just about anything. I had a nice old felt cowboy hat, that they almost ate the brim off of. I have since dedicated my time to using my electric fly swatter to fry them when I see them. I keep my feathers in in large plastic bags, in the chest freezer. 8)

I boil some water with some green cedar fronds in it and wipe the feathers with the water after its cooled or run your fletchings over the pot in the steam and it will straighten out matted or distorted flethings. I leave out feathers that have been treated this way and they don't get eatin. I understand that cloves in a bag with feathers keep the mites away also
