Guys,

Allow me to implore any and all of you. Whether you are a tier or not, if you hunt ducks or are friends with duck hunters, never turn down an offer of wood duck skins or feathers, or toss a carcass after breasting the bird for the meat. If you don't want to bother with skins, just pluck the flank feathers and bag them. It might be a good idea to put the feathers from each individual duck into a separate zip lock type bag. There are plenty of us who need and will use those skins or the feathers. Probably any of us who use them would gladly reimburse you and even throw in some flies for your effort. Just post what you've accumulated and you'll get plenty of resquests. By individually bagging the feathers from each duck you'll be able to share your bounty(just an idea).

I'm pretty sure I speak for the majority of tiers when I say, thanks in advance for any consideration.

Allan
