Looks like a decent trade to me. Can't ever have too many feathers

You should about have all the duck feathers you will ever need huh? Nice get!

Doug those feathers look very good. We going to start calling you Duckman :)

THanks!!LOL got all the Mallard cleaned and bagged and working on the hen Gadwall. Got a message from one of the guys on another board who sends them to me and he's 3 more gallon bags ready to mail!!

Here they are all cleaned up

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.
