now that I started tying I wish I saved allot of the feathers when I used to hunt I would have an awesome selection of duck,pheasant and other bird feathers not to mention more rabbit skin and squirrel tail I could use in a life time. If only I knew than I would be tying jigs now.....

That makes two of us Doc!!! WhenI was in high school, I'd put my Remington
1170 in my buddy's trunk (try that now!! You'd have the FBI, and swat teams teams all over the place!) then after school I'd walk the tracks back to
my house.....about three miles. It was a rare day I didn't have 3 or 4 rabbits, a couple of pheasants, occasionally a duck, sometimes a coon or
turkey!!! I did use some squirrel tails to make Mepps type spinners. Ah, life
was good then and cheap!! A box of #6 was 2.45 a box for good stuff!
My 1170 was 189.95 brand spankin new!! A lot of money back then.
