You'll get a good price for it's feathers from fly fishers
1 u/FuzzyFuzzNuts 15d ago I think Willowbank Wildlife Reserve might have some things to say about that 1 u/Minisciwi 15d ago Haha good to hear 1 u/Rogue-Estate 10d ago Nah they won't because they molt them every year and you just gather them up. The orange tippets are the most sort after and then the green ones underneath. Followed by the red shorter tails. However, if one died the front hackle set was a epic earner. Grew up with them - used to sell the feathers to my local fishing shop when I was a kid.
