Was just getting some wings out I had frozen to seperate and prepare to make fletching and found I had 7 or 8 tails that are folded and frozen. What do you guys do with the tails? I already have several tails fanned and mounted.

I fletch arrows with them. They are a bit flimsier than primary wing feathers but work fine and look real good. I use primary, secondary and tail feathers for fletchings. Pat
Tying flies good tail feathers are hard to find
David Mitchell will trade you ground primarys for tails.
Individual tail feathers attached to a short string of trade beads would look sharp on a back, side, or hip quiver.
My wife uses them in wreaths, flower arrangements, etc., lucky me!
Glad she likes stuff I drag in... :archer:
yep,
one of the prettiest fall wreaths you can make is with wild turkey tail feathers...Google that and I bet you can get directions...they're AWESOME looking and very unique compared to the ones with greenery on them.
Your wife can use it from Halloween on through New Year's.
