    I was wondering what part of the ducks are you plucking the feathers from. I duck hunt and could get lots of feathers just not sure which ones are usable.

    The flank feathers from them are on the side right above the legs. Teal, Gadwall, wood duck, mallard are all good.

    If you get the lemon barred wood duck


    and the barred wood duck you've got some good trading material with fly tyers.
