Duck feathers for fletching?

<< < (2/2)

Brokestick:
I would avoid the Owl feathers in the future.  Game wardens don't care how you got them.  See the other feathers thread on this board for the discussion on buzzard feathers.

adb:
Owl feathers are fine, as long as you contact the local game warden and they verify that it is, in fact, a road kill. Then, they issue you a permit of possession. I live in Canada. Might be different in the US, however. Raptors are strictly protected here, and the authorities do not have any sense of humor with illegally obtained birds of prey. If you abide by the rules, it's OK here.
In my opinion, the pheasant primaries are the best... easy to obtain, nice colors, and fairly durable.

DanaM:
Owls are federally protected, they are off limits in the US

Hillbilly:
Plus they are really soft, not the best fletching material anyway.

Brokestick:
Probably make awsome flu-flus though.
