Stump Hunter those are real nice jigs!(let me know what feathers you seek) Thank you all for the information and advice! I didn't always know which feathers where best, I would open a supply catalog look at their feathers and start plucking. Store in freezer, sanitize and repeat the process. I even saved whole wings. Right now, snow/ross and blue geese are in season and I will watch for the feathers you speak of Skip! Crappie papa, up until I became hooked on tying I also thought they make good compost. Thanks again everyone!
