Lucasade:
I've heard that looking in the wild can be extremely variable in terms of feather quality, but it sounds like it's well worth a shot!

WillS:
When I went looking for goose feathers I ended up taking 460 home.  By the time I had sifted through the nasty ones, and scrapped the ones too short for war arrows (anything under 6" long) I still had about 350 left, and 200 of those at least are beautiful "premium" quality primaries.  That's enough to see me through this year and the next, and possibly make some money selling them at shoots etc as well. 

If you time it right, and hit the lakes/parks right in the middle of moulting season (late May through to July) you'll end up with so many you won't know what to do with them all!

Lucasade:
Excellent - that's about the time I'll be needing them!
