Yeah. In my quest for superior tying materials, I ended up raising lots of different pheasant. Some will try to kill you, others are docile and almost friendly. Goldens are skittish and amazingly loud.
I have about 20 Harry Lemire tied steelhead flies. I have them in petri dishes around the house. His widow gave them away to WSF club members. If you know what I’m talking about.
