Canada goose feathers for fletching?
Bowbound:
I get them each june and they seem to work fine for me. Just not as durable as turkey.
JackCrafty:
Goose feathers work pretty good. Some say they hold up better when wet....I agree. The only think I don't like about them is they don't look as good as turkey feathers when "spiral" wrapped. The vanes of the goose feathers seem to get wrinkled easily and don't "zip" back together as well as turkey.
son of massey:
along waterways, in campgrounds, and so forth goose feathers can be easier to find in bulk than turkey. they are good considering how easy they are to get your hands on. SOM
Hillbilly:
I really like goose feathers, better than turkey in some situations. Never seen much difference in durability myself.
JackCrafty:
I wish I could find goose feathers lying around here (in bulk)....the parks I've been to yield about one feather per goose. Maybe there's a critter around here that eats feathers? Maybe other birds are making nests with them? I dunno.
