    Too much red tape from what I am told in Pennsylvania to keep game birds. Again, that is one of those "some day" plans I have.

    Mike, I will definately pick your brain next time we get together to chat and trade. Has your dad raised his own for tying?

    Any Fly tyers out there? I have considered getting a couple birds for hackle feathers, but not sure what breeds fit this category.
