    I have a several pheasant wings and tails that my buddy got a few days ago. (there were also several full skins with heads that the kids really wanted to keep, but were just too messy to screw around with)

    I have the wings, tails and a partial skin covered in Borax and drying on top of my kitchen cupboards in a box. (Tracy is real happy about that and said something about turning my kids in to rednecks and bird flu) Is that going to work? Do I need to do anything else? I use a lot of hen pheasant wing feathers for my standby stone pattern and really want to keep these babies.

    If they come out I will be more than willing to share if anyone can use some.

    Steve-

    Provided you opened up the entire tail casing, yes, that will work.
