Re: Looking for pheasant feathers - lower mainland
Ive never seen one in the wild, I would say "we dont have them here". Ive lived in 2-4 for 20 or more years.
Re: Looking for pheasant feathers - lower mainland
We have them locally, well... when they get released!
Re: Looking for pheasant feathers - lower mainland
What are you going to use them for?

They are around fluked into the odd pheasant duck hunting private land in chilliwack and Abby but have never seen enough to target them when I lived there
Andrewh you might get stuck buying farm raised(release) birds
Re: Looking for pheasant feathers - lower mainland
Need about 5-8 nice tail feathers if possible.
Re: Looking for pheasant feathers - lower mainland
Most fly shops should have some. Deliced and ready to go.
Re: Looking for pheasant feathers - lower mainland
I've seen a couple at Deer Lake in Burnaby a few years back. My parents claim they are still around. Of course there is no hunting there.
Re: Looking for pheasant feathers - lower mainland
clubs release pheasants have you joined one of these?
Re: Looking for pheasant feathers - lower mainland
Try fly fishing shops, they sell them for tying flies and are pretty cheap. I'm pretty sure Micheals also sells feathers.

I've seen them on the side of highway #99 between ladner trunk road and the #91 interchange on numerous occasions.
Re: Looking for pheasant feathers - lower mainland
Those are club released birds we are building the resident population but the coyotes seem to be eating as many as we release...
Re: Looking for pheasant feathers - lower mainland
Club birds don't tend to have the best feathers. Fly fishing shop or Michael's.

The plumage will be better near end or Season in November. If I can I may be able to help you .
Fuller capes longer feathers preparing for winter compared to beginning of the season. Specially the Rump patch used for tying Caryes
