Question for bird hunters

[Fish_N_Russ]

I tie flies and was just wondering if you guys ever have any feathers left over from your ducks/geese/pheasant etc. Thanks

[Rauly]

How many pheasant tail feathers would you like? You come get them or pay for shipping. They are natural color.

Remind me next Oct. and I will save you some hides. How many do you want. I am in Corvallis, so it would be easy to get them to you. I did not save any from this past year other than a few tails for my wife's flower arranging. Normally I just skin the birds and throw the hide away. Don

Rauly,
where r u located at? feel free to PM or email me :smile:

DC, sounds good :smile: I can use probably whatever you have....with pheasant and ducks (mallard is great) being the 'best'.
thanks

Ask again at the BEGINNING of the season and I'm sure you'll have more than you can handle.

October would be good. Don't mean to make you feel bad but I just ate a Wood Duck and threw his feathers in the trash. All my fly tying friends had enough. Post again in the fall.

I have some Wood Duck flank feathers.

PM me if you want some.

Russ,

I have two pheasant skins if you want them. Just been sitting in the freezer. E-mail me.

[Fish_N_Russ]

ok when is the beginning of the season?
ive never hunted ducks so have no idea, but I knew it was fall-winterish time.

Russ,
I have some birds from yesterday that I am planning on cleaning tonight - 1 mallard drake, 2 green winged teal 1drake 1hen, 2 widgen 1drake 1hen. I also have some assorted other wings I have been saving to train my dog, I have enough & can spare a few. - Phesant, Mtn Quail, Mallard etc. If you are interested PM me & we'll figure out how to get them to you. If possible I'd like to get some Flies & fly fishing tips in the exchange.

I am getting too old to tie my own flies anymore. I have a multitude of bird feathers from jungle **** caps to Lady Amherst pheasant and some other rare bird feathers for traditional Atlantic salmon flies. (They are all over 25 years old so they are legal.) I will most likely keep some for reasons unknown but I will be more than likely let you have them. No charge. A fishing trip in the future will do just fine.

I also have a couple of Orvis split bamboo rods that I may be selling in the future. I bought them in the early sixties. Man, how time flies.

PM me if interested.

junglecock is not a dirty word. It's a name of a wild bird.... :smile:
