BigWapiti:
Other than turkey, which seems to be hard to come by these days, especially, apparently, when I'm doing the hunting... sigh.

I digress.... other than turkey, what are some other good feathers for arrows?   I'm considering goose, blue grouse and maybe ... crow?  seems both of these might have some good oils that would help with moisture?

What other, more easily accessible feathers are good for arrows? 

Ok, I did say feathers, and not duct tape. :)

I know goose and crow will work fine, not sure about blue grouse, but if they are big enough, go for it!

We have loads of Canadian Geese near where I work--I mean..loads, and along with the geese and their feathers there is a few metric tons worth of Canadian Geese poo....too.

Great!  that added nitrogen will help break down all these new wood stave and arrow shavings I'm loading into my compost pile these days.  I'm an addict!!
