Buying/Trading Duck Feathers

[smoothlures]

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

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.
