Sorry for the late response, but you could contact a taxidermist and even if they can't provide you the feathers, they may be able to offer you a source on where you can obtain them.ForgeCorvus wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 5:35 pm I'm English and I don't have that problem.......

Life is a great adventure; if I live to be 10,000 years old, it won't be enough.

Re: Updated arrow vendors?
The migratory bird act is only wild type birds, and it does include wild type game birds that are captive bred. I used to raise captive wild gamebirds, the paperwork is a nightmare when selling feathers or dead stock for any reason. There are "feather" buyers who do have stocks of livestock type feathers for sale. Will try to see if I can find my old contacts if anyone is interested.
Re: Updated arrow vendors?
I mean, for arrow fletching, I’d probably prefer to use domestic geese feathers anyway, rather than any wild goose varieties - particularly because the only wild geese around here in any abundance are Canada geese, which isn’t quite right anyway, being a New World bird. I’ve found occasional domestic grey and white goose feathers available here and there, but not often. Point being, it’s unusual, but not impossible.Meganbeyer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2024 4:31 pm The migratory bird act is only wild type birds, and it does include wild type game birds that are captive bred.

Re: Updated arrow vendors?
Both of my contacts are a bust. One when to taxidermy and the other passed.
