Goose Feather Haul

(1/3) > >>

Took the dawg to the park today, where we proceeded to annoy the heck out of each other with our conflicting agendas.  But in the space of 45 minutes or so, I doubled my inventory of moulted goose feathers, mostly primaries this time.  So I sorted them out and bundled them together, and left them out to dry since some are damp.  Then I heard a suspicious noise...  Rotten dog unsorted them on me.  Here's what I got today, I'm feeling satisfied I have enough not to worry about running out anytime soon.

Looks good! I've been taking my brothers out to the local lakes and parks to collect feathers. Perfect way to get awesome fletching material. I've been thinking about splicing some goose and wild turkey feathers together to see how they come out.
Hope to see what kind of arrows you make with these though.

Easternarcher:
Zen, the molt is just picking up here....I got a couple dozen primaries today, but expect alot more this coming week or so.
Cheap is good :)...free is evn better! ;D

zenmonkeyman:
What's cool is how easy it is to get them.  It seems like a goose just decides "it's time", and proceeds to yank all its feathers out in one go.  They sure seem to occur in dense patches, anyways.  It doesn't hurt that people feed them, and always in the same places.  I probably have lots and then some, but being a borderline hoarder, I'm sure I'll be out there again, bent over and cursing the dog for yanking the leash while I'm trying to collect fletch.

Pappy:
Nice haul. :)
