Golden Pheasant Source

[Little Fork]

Does anyone have a source for Golden Pheasant? I can’t find it in stock anywhere but maybe I just don’t know where to look.

I bet a fella could ask their local flyshop to order some. Hareline and Wapsi both carry heads/capes/tails etc.

Bird flu has done wonders with the feathers we are used to finding easily. Well, that and loosing the sources from China.

I hadn’t considered bird flu. I figured maybe availability was seasonal.
Luckily a forum member offered a lightly used skin at a fair price.

Around my work you get golden pheasant road kill. All kinds of exotics running around with a bird sanctuary thing down the street. Albino peacock running all over.
This bird is still in my freezer and you are welcome to it but pickup logistics might kill that idea.

Picked up some black pheasant hunting last year as well. Kind of new to me.

That’s a really kind offer but I think pickup would be a longer drive than I’d like to do.
You’re fortunate to have access to such cool birds/feathers!
