Some Pictures of Skins I just got

Also will have more if you want of the next batch coming probably today. Just thought some here may want to see these.

Full Rooster (I cut it in half so tried to kind of put it back to show, but didn't do very good on the saddle part I see and some was hidden).

Those are all VERY nice! Lots of flies and jigs to be had in that pile of skins...

Well when you see that Rooster you can see why I about lost it when I saw my dog ripping and tearing it up, LOL! That thing is really long.

It is lunch time...I am big time hungry...looking at those pics all I can see if the fried bird that gave up those skins.

I like the full rooster and barred ginger,not a big fan of the hens. Thanks for sharing,Skip.

Those are very nice Skip and I know you are watching em around your dog now!! LOL..

I knew that I should have skinned the Phillapino Fighting Cocks that the next door guy had at one time,lol.

Definitely you should have and I don't even know what they look like, LOL!

Just curious. We hunt Pheasants in the fall and skin almost all of our birds. Can you all use the skins after we clean the birds?? Would be glad to save some if you could use them.

Sure Pheasant has a lot of good feathers, The tail is mostly wanted for flies as they make tails, wings, wing cases and bodies and nymphs out of the barbules from it. However all the feathers are good and I have a few birds, but can always use more.

Pheasant is a lot less expensive than what I have pictured here for sure. They cost wholesale about $6-$8 without tail and the tails are another about $6. Personally I have a lot less tail feathers than body feathers and the only ones I have a friend that use to raise them gave me some Golden Pheasant and some Lady Amherst tail. I sure could use some of them for sure as I don't have much. Don't get me worn I will not turn any down, LOL!

I think that I have 2 Golden's and only one Ring neck. I am not sure I have any Ring neck tails. Also I have not even one Hen Pheasant so would be happy for some of that too if possible.

So please let me know when you have some.
