The turkey "Round" is the secondary wing feather most commonly sold as the Mottled Turkey Quills as shown above. I just "gathered" a few 2 weeks ago...I'll try to get some pics.


"Biots" are gathered from primary wing feathers.

Denny?.....I always understood that the "biots" were referring to the leading edge of the wing primaries which are shorter and much more stiff, and the "Quills" as many refer to within the tying community are the longer "trailing" side of the primary wing where they are much longer and softer? Do I have that correct?
