I dyed a couple of natural Turkey feathers with orange kool aid. Was unsure how the wild Turkey feathers would come out. I think they came out really good.

Here they are compared to some Gateway feathers I did a couple of years ago, in which I fletched up.[attachment=1]
Dye job turned out well!!
I have a huge supply of turkey feathers for past year in LW and RW. I may dye some but I need to find the guys who grind and chop them for you.
I dyed some orange and loved the look, but first deer I shot with them, I couldn't see the arrow at all and had no idea where I hit it. Turned out to be good shot but made me wonder! Back to yellow for me.
They do look awesome!! :thumbsup:
Jack try out the Little Choppers. I have 2 they work well. The big plus chopping them yourself is when you need to replace one feather. You can make one the same size.

very nice - good job :clapper:
What happens when they get wet?
I've done it for years and never had a problem with the color when they get wet
I used green apple and cherry flavor and left them soak for awhile and they came out super vibrant. The red with two white feathers really pop.
