I noticed how tough the leg tendons are on turkey drumsticks and made a vent pick from one. Should hold up better than a feather.

Interesting idea.. Didn't keep those bits from my two turkeys harvested this spring, but maybe the fall season, or next spring.
I’m gonna try that. Is it from the big one that attaches to the heel? Could you explain how you made it? I’m guessing you dried it out and held it flat so it didn’t curl. Thanks for sharing.

Neat ideal, I would keep a eye on it as it ages, might have a tendency to splinter or become brittle, don't think tendons from a bird are like say from a deer or elk. Perhaps a rub with some kind of light oil from time to time, let it soak in and wipe dry would help, really not sure just thinking.

Like you guessed! We will see how it holds up but it feels sturdy yet a little flex. I think horn would work also.
