Removing turkey feathers from the wing

(1/2) > >>

MO Hawkeye:
How do I remove the turkey wing feathers without harming the feathers?   I've never tried this.

Thanks

Paul

Josh:
i use side cutters and cut them close to the wing.  There is a thread in the buildalong thread for removing the feathers with the quill intact.  Check it out.

Hillbilly:
I usually cut them off above the meat-don't need the tip of the quill for arrow making. I use side cutters, big heavy scissors, or even the band saw.

ricktrojanowski:
Just like the others said, clippers as close as you can get to the flesh.

nugget:
Ditto on the clipping close to the meat.
