I made one like the top pic last week and caught some fish on it ,but got it hung under a dock and lost it... making a few more for this weekend for some more evaluating!

Nice jigs. I hate to have only a single color jig with me because it seems they always want that one and after it is lost :bash

Man I hope that isn't a song bird feather...

I guess a jay bird is a song bird but i didnt kill it, found it by the mailbox. Id assume a car hit it but not sure.

An aggressive song bird at that...

Jigslinger I sent you a PM about the feathers.

Thanks stumphunter... i had no idea i was in violation of the law. But like they say ignorance is no excuse! I'll take those feathers off and put them back where i found them. Before i tie up anything else.... is there anymore forbidden materials i need to know about?

Polar Bear.. So if you happen to see one don't pick it up....LOL

Yeah got to watch out what you pick up as far as feathers. Just make sure it's never an Eagle Feather and I mean don't even pick one up. Very few people in the country have the right to pick up one of them.

Id assume all birds of prey no no? No hawks, owls, osprey,great blue herrons?

Blue dun or gray dun is a real close legal feather color. Good looking jigs.

Nice

ScottV's chickens to:Rofl:Rofl

it looks like a bluebird to me.

Those laws are such BS. I can understand it being illegal to kill the bird or sell the feathers, but there's no harm in just picking up loose feathers for your own enjoyment. Especially when the bird is nowhere around or already dead.

My brother creamed a hawk of some kind in his Expedition on the freeway when it was sitting on a post and tried to take off going across the road. If I'd have been with him at the time, I would have gotten out and picked up some feathers. Leaving them to rot on the side of the road wasn't going to bring the bird back to life, so why let them go to waste?

It does seem like a waste. Problem is people would kill them and claim they just found them
