He obviously ties flies a ton same with the fur.

What do you do with the feathers?

I tie flies? You’d need a missing machine to miss that?

You sure stitch up a purty bug!

Do you guys use a .22 caliber handgun to dispatch the predators you trap?

Rifle is what I usually carry I hardly use my hand guns. No pistol or CC permit etc needed here to buy a rifle just a simple background.

Many late night early morning I have sat up killing varmints with my savage .22 and a flashlight.

I use .22 pistol when out trapping... it’s an oldie made in the late 1920s or 30s I forgot now... but it’s the one I can shoot straight so I just use it.

Around the house I use a .22 rifle for yard critter sniping.

I know you tie flies I wasn’t sure if you sold the feathers is all.

They might be too nice to put in the water, lol

I’ve got a couple full color fly reference books that I picked up in bargain bins years ago... sometimes I just like to look at the pictures and admire the “art”.... but I can’t ever remember all the patterns, and really only know a few old standby flys by name...

Nah I don’t sell feathers. It would take me 53 lifetimes to breed birds as good as what’s already out there for sale and packaged for tying already. I can use the feathers off of some hens and roosters though.

It’s really not that hard to tie flies. It just takes a little patience. You should pick up a fly tying kit. Hours of relaxation and enjoyment.
Does your buddy fish for anything other than trout with the fly rod?
