lykos33 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 Hmmmmm, ok that narrows it down for me...I think I can eliminate turkey flats, at least not like anything I ever saw on a turkey I shot... so peacock body or lady amherst pheasant...any more ideas ? Thanks Paul! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David Legg 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 Looks like golden pheasant feathers from just below the tippets feathers. If it doesn't look right when you are handling the real thing, it could be a hybrid. They vary a little from the normal ones. I have tied with those feathers before, and they typically splay just like that. David <>< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise there is no real difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
