After taking the turkey what do you do with the feathers?  Do you make a cape?  What can be down with the cape and/or feathers?

Thanks,
Doug

You can tie flies and some traditional archers like the wing feathers for arrows. :D

I send my primary wing feathers to a guy that makes his own arrows, my wing bones go to a call maker & I enjoy the breast meat.  I think its cool to be able to utilize as much of the bird as possible.

:D I give them to a guy I work with. His wife is into her Native American heritage and uses them for something. :D
