I always have some by the end of the season. I trade to lot of guys on here. I let you know latter what I got.

I will try to gather you some up

Our seasons half over will get you what I can

Should have posted this earlier. We have been crushing the mallards. I'll be out this in a few days. Shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks guys all are appreciated.

It is against Federal law to sell . trade or barter migratory game bird feathers !White Flag Icon

From featherbuyers.com website...I've given numerous fly tying guys duck feathers..my wife has used them on her hand tied jigs as well

Legally Harvested Waterfowl
I buy only plucked feathers, no skins or whole birds. Before you call to tell me you can’t sell feathers from wild ducks, please take a look at Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The law that makes buying and selling feathers legal is 50 CFR 20.91. Click to see the whole reading. However, some states have laws that are more restrictive and I’m putting together a list of those states.

Arkansas CAN sell duck feathers. My buddy has a Processing business and sells most of ALL his. Legally.

I will get you some for sure!

Sorry, but there are even exceptions in cases where it's not legal to sell feathers allowing them to be sold for fly tying and fishing.

Drop me a line when you guys have some ready to go!

I'm just getting started on duck season. Check your PM's

I wish I had saw this a few days ago...our group killed 8 drake wood ducks over the weekend

(a) No person shall purchase, sell, barter, or offer to purchase, sell, or barter for millinery or ornamental use the feathers of migratory game birds taken under authority of this part; and

I had always heard that it was illegal but reading this guess what they are used for matters ?:scratchhead

When I first started hunting way back (can't with my back now) I was always taught that if you're going to kill it, use as much of it as you can!!

let me know if you still need some. i breast my ducks and toss the rest. too easy to pluck feathers if i can score a few jigs.

What nimrod is wrong, someone write this on the calendar lol.

My son and some buddies shot several malllards the other day. Can you send me address to mail to. You can text me at 660.641.6316

Have a couple of guys saving some for me and they've really saved me as i can't go!!!
