Hello fellow turkey hunter. I live in Québec, Canada. Merriam's turkey are far from home and i need tail covert feathers for tying salmon flies.
Here's an example, i used a sd Merriam's that I hunted a few years ago. I dont want to pluck too much feathers from my wall mount obviously.(http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b494/Charleybgood/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160219_190126_zpsrc6dtuks.jpg) (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/Charleybgood/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160219_190126_zpsrc6dtuks.jpg.html)
If anyone could be kind enough to collect me some nice White tips tail covert feathers, i'll pay all the shipping cost.
The white tip feather is a little hard to find. I would really appreciate guys. I dont need the longest tail feathers, but the second or third row of feathers of the fan.
Thank you verry much, and have a safe and sound spring turkey hunt.

PM me your info. I've got quite a few Merriam's fans in the freezer that I'm never going to get to and don't know where to put them anyway.
Nice work
Can't help you with feathers, but you sure tie awesome flies, great work!!

X2 very nice. :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Do you sell your flys? My dad would die for the one you had in the first post.
I dont sale fly, but if a fly may bring a smile to your father, i'll send you a free full dressed classic salmon fly as a present for your father, it wont be a competition fly, but something tied with passion and fishable. Pm me.

Now that is an awesome gesture. Glad to see kindness in a world where it seems to be lacking severely.
The secondairy covert are exactly what im looking for, the withish the better.
Thanks guys!!!(http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b494/Charleybgood/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160328_183206_zpsnxzjgqjk.jpg) (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/Charleybgood/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20160328_183206_zpsnxzjgqjk.jpg.html)
I failed to look into postage costs today, but I'll get some out to you this before too long.

I am heading to Nebraska in a couple weeks for a merriams hunt.
If you need some more I can likely send you some providing the birds cooperate.
Send me a PM if you still are looking for some.

I just wanted to send a huge THANKS out to Charley! He sent me a fly for my dad and it is simply awesome. I am sure my dad will be proud to have it and use it. There aren't many people out there that would go through the trouble to send something like this out and for free it makes me happy to see that people like Charley are still out there. Charley if you ever need anything just let me know. Once again a huge thanks for the "Durham Ranger"
Thanks,

Hi, im still in search for feathers.
I wish I'd have seen this a couple of days ago. I threw out just what you need. I'm a taxidermist. I will check my freezer tomorrow. I think I can fix you up.
Beautiful flies!
