That is exactly why I take the camera everywhere I go. Great pic man!

Hey Jethro, I can't speak to which feather will last longer. From the limited experience I have, I certainly noticed a difference in which feather "seems" tougher. The wild turkey feather is a lot thicker than ones obtained from domestic birds....which is the bird population all the commercial...

Happy B-Day Critr!

I thought posting this may help any of you that wanted to make fletching out of the birds you are harvesting. I always wanted to sit down and do it, but up until a few weeks ago, never did. If you are an archer and fletch your own arrows, you know how expensive real turkey feathers can be if...

Awesome Limb!!

That's awesome Critr!( she really does have great form!)

I miss ringnecks! I had to put my shorthair down 2 years ago and haven't gone out since then. The last hunt Sam and I were on togather was late season. She locked up on a bird next to a snow fence. I didn't get the chance to shoulder the gun, the bird attempted to flush and Sam snatched it...

Hey 20.... I'm sitting here reading your post about your morning with a big smile on my face ... I can't wait for my boy to get old enough to take with me, I want him to share in the excitement, just like you felt this morning. Tell your buddy congrats from all of us here, I'm glad you were...

[ QUOTE ] SIX WEEKS , your a lucky man. I don't think I've seen any of my bows less than 10. You can't go wrong with either model. The SA III was my first one and I'll never part with it. [/ QUOTE ] I was suprized as well. Roger said he's been telling people 8-10 weeks but they have...

I have a Matrix too. It's the best blind I've ever been in, period. First season was rainy and windy, the blind proved to be sturdy enough for 35mph winds. We had a little flap right off the bat, but tightened the frame straps(new to the Matrix)a little and it sat there solid as a rock...

I appreciate all the kudos everyone, but it's really easy to do, you just have to take the time and do it. Seriously, anyone can do it!

I talked to Roger at Black Widow today and changed my order around a little. I switched it to an SAII 60inches, 52#@29in. He said it should take 6 weeks.

Thanks D! All the drawing/writing on the calls are done with Indian Ink brush pens. Faber-Castell makes some really nice ones. You can get a 6-pen package for $10.00. I just use the "Shades of Gray" set.( you can pick them up at about any hobby place) The ink is let to dry and sprayed with...

I had three buddies come out first season and I made calls for them, each from their own bird. I kept the other wings for my calls. The collection:

congrats on the bow harvest! It feels different doesn't it? Great job!

Well, I ordered a Widow. Its a PMA III, 60 in, 52#@30in. Can't wait!

I know True Flight takes them, but only at certain times of the year and at 100 at a time. I had pretty good luck knocking most the thickness down with a Dremmel when the feather was in the jig clamp, I finished it off with 400 grit sandpaper, worked pretty well.

I've mentioned us having a lot of birds around here in past posts. IADroptine lives a block from me, he's had to have seen them as well. I have some great pictures of a tom, strutting and gobbling in the backyard of a guy that lives 2 blocks south of our house. I'll put them up too.

[ QUOTE ] Here's what I use to cut the feathers, might be a little cleaner than a burner. You can buy them in any size or fletch style. http://www.3riversarchery.com/Product.asp?c=2&s=8&p=36&i=4398X [/ QUOTE ] I went ahead ond ordered one... thanks man! I couldn't wait so I...

BT, I think they'll fly great, I just need to get my burner here so I can trim them. I'm actually thinking about just making a template and cutting them with a scissors. I want to try 'em out!!
