I am an avid fly tyer in need of a hefty supply of woodduck flank/breast feathers. Should you be willing and able to sell these feathers please contact me at the email address listed.
Thank you,
Mike

Mike we can not at any time sell a Federal Migratory bird parts at any time. The only way is if the person raises them and have the proper paper work to sell the parts.
You would be better off and getting in touch with a person who raises them and buy one from them. Just look above you and click on suppliers. From there you will find your needs.
PS it's cheaper and you get better quality feathers for fly tying.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can sell them for "fishing flies" Here's the law....
Sec. 20.91 Commercial use of feathers.
Any person may possess, purchase, sell, barter, or transport for the
making of fishing flies, bed pillows, and mattresses, and for similar
commercial uses the feathers of migratory waterfowl (ducks, geese,
brant, and swans) killed by hunting pursuant to this part, or seized and
condemned by Federal or State game authorities, except that:
(a) No person shall purchase, sell, barter, or offer to purchase,
sell, or barter for millinery or ornamental use the feathers of
migratory game birds taken under authority of this part; and
(b) No person shall purchase, sell, barter, or offer to purchase,
sell, or barter mounted specimens of migratory game birds taken under
authority of this part.

FYI,
I'm probably the only one that didn't know this, but I've been told that "millinery" is the art of making feathered hats. Go figure.
