had a canadain goose drying the last few days and for some reason i wanted to adjust one of its wings a little and rip right throught the middle of him about a foot long gash. tried pinning it back together but not enough stretch to get the feathers back in place, right now im rehydrating the area and hopefully sew it back together. this ever happen to anyone else? any ideas on repairing this? thanks in advance.
