Song birds is out even if just found in yard. Some like Jungle Cock only the ones that have passed through what ever legal things there are should be bought. There are some that don't take the proper road here and they are not for us. These are just examples and you should probably just take a look at the game rules a bit, bit most of what you talk about is fine!
I have looked into this before. If I legally shoot a duck, say a mallard or wood duck, I can use the feathers from that bird for my personal use as I see fit. I think that if I tried to sell those feathers or products with those feathers is where I could get into a bit of a bind. Since I wont be selling any of my jigs I should be fine...I may just wind up with tons and tons of jigs!!!
Thanks again for the heads up.
