Seagul fletch?
riarcher:
Yup, and I'd bet them bared feathers would make a nice primative arrow in 2 feather or 3 w/ white-grey gull cock.
Like you said, all over during certain times of year. Not as big as turkey, but bigger than cut turkey.
But, anyways, I'd expect them to be waterproof a lot better than any spray or powder on turkey.
Don't know, but would expect so.
When it happens this year, gonna try it. Barred gull is a nice lookin feather.

I'd rather see the feathers go back into the environment than to see the birds hunted into extinction. If the use of these feathers were allowed someone would take advantage of the situation and we know if you give some folks an inch, they WILL take a mile.
Most of these birds and not endangered species but they were hunted for their feathers for the fashion trade and thus they are now protected.
If you want water resistance feathers use duck or goose feathers. They are legal. ...and if I were gonna do something illegal I guarantee I would not broadcast it over the internet. Once written on the internet, always on the internet!!! ;)

--- Quote from: El Destructo on January 31, 2010, 08:17:19 pm ---Eagle feathers are not the only ones regulated under federal law. Many other bird species are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, really a series of agreements with Canada, Great Britain, Mexico and the former Soviet Union signed between 1916 and 1976. These cover just about any bird species found in the United states, including hawks, owls, falcons, sparrows, seagulls, chickadees, herons, hummingbirds, doves, jays, and crows. As with the Bald Eagle Protection Act, this law prohibits the taking, killing, possession, selling and barter of these birds or their parts. legal use.

Little did I know, I was an outlaw with that Daisy Red Ryder. Dad always called me "Chickadee Hunter" when he saw me with it :D
