Hackle Addict's Question ?

Recommended Posts

If you were to be given four gold quality capes or saddles to supplement your current inventory what colors would you choose ? Mine would be a

1. Coachman Brown

2 Rusty Dun

3 Golden Badger

4 Dark barred ginger

All capes because I love hunting for that one particular awesome hackle !

 

What would be on your final four wish list ?

I'd prefer the fancy stuff to replace some of current inventory actually. My ginger was never top grade, though suitable and it's running low and the perfect coloration. I just got two good necks, one barred medium ginger and one medium dun. But if I replaced my straight ginger, getting the exact color I have now would be the real trick.

 

My Coachman Brown is well picked over too.

 

So:

Coachman Brown ( just the right one though, if it isn't my perfect dream hackle I'll take Grizzly, can't go wrong with grizzly).

Ginger

Furnace

And dyed Badger ( I have a natural, would like a more rusty one or maybe dark olive as long as we are dreaming anyway LOL)

Am I to assume correctly gentlemen that you would choose capes over saddles ?

I love feathers, I should have been a showgirl, a 270 lb. showgirl, OK maybe not.

 

1. Rust Dun

2. Champagne (Whiting used to have a few of these in the Hebert line)

3. Silver badger

4. Natural dun, so I could dye it, the barring would look great!

 

Nice thread.
