Some say they are the williest and most challenging animal to hunt in North America.

They can be but.........they can also be creatures of habit when it comes to roosting !!!

I've gotten early morning birds without a single call by knowing where they would head after flying down from the roost.
Just don't expect them to be there every morning after a little pressure is put on them Shocked

if any one has some extra Turkey feathers that you would be willing to give away. I need some for making feathers for some arrows.

I only tried to hunt a group of turkeys one time. Using a Bow.
was following them as they was heading up a small hill in Texas hill country.
thought I was going to be smart and run around the back side of the hill and let them run into me.
well. there I was all alone. and I mean all alone. they did not show up and I searched the the gullies and side of the hill where I seen them.
they vanished, I felt like I had been out witted by a Turkey. lol.

Which feathers are best for making arrows?

I have some tails, but they seem kinda long...

Left or right wing will work good. I have a Fletcher for either one.

The tail feathers I have used and work ok.

if you have some long tail feathers that would be great. I think they would be great for flu-flu feathers. and that is what a friend of mine is in need of right now.

any help with feathers would be greatly appreciated.
I know where there are some turkeys are around here, but I do not have a tag for them. and I have walked all over around the rivers and maybe just find one that is no good.
