owl feathers
billy:
Just use some canada goose wing feathers....they look just like buzzard, bald eagle or mature golden eagle feathers.

ya i left them where they were. i think its a little different in Canada as we can get permits for roadkilled raptors as long as the conservation officers determine that the birds death isnt suspicous.but the permits arent free and im a little short on cash right now
Ohio John:
In my experience the canada goose and wild turkey feathers make better arrows anyways.
It is possible to obtain a permit for feathers for use in an educational program in flint knapping/primitive skills/ ecology. If there is no reason to have them don't.... They make mediocre arrows anyways :) I think the laws are perhaps a bit stricter than they should be and there was talk during the Clinton administration of loosening up the rules a bit. This is because the laws have been successful and populations are on the upswing. I came across a dead turkey vulture while hunting this year (probably shot by a hunter who found it over his kill). I understand the turkey vulture is held in very high regard as it carries the soul to the sky after death. I almost grabbed a wing but thought better of it. Meanwhile ODNR has released so many coyotes in Ohio that they are a scourge and you can barely find a rabbit to hunt anymore. So much for responsible wildlife management.
Grunt:
Lakota people are very superstitious about owls. Show a owl feather to a traditional Lakota and they back up a step or two. I think it has something to do with the owl being a nighttime hunter.
