Yellowtail birds
« on: Nov 08, 2011, 06:00:57 PM »
Hunting for pheasants at Yellowtail is almost exclusivly for planted birds.  But some can surprise you.  I took this rooster today.  The tail feathers are right around 27 inches.  The spurs are nothing special at all.  I plan to have it mounted.  But I also would like to enter it in the longest tail feather contest.  The taxidermist says he can replace the feather with either the removed one or another one.  I have a bit of time to think about it.

Awesome Bird.  Got to be a wild bird with a tail like that. I like the shotgun used to have one just like it, it was my first shotgun.  wish I still had it.

Sweat bird!  I haven't seen a bird like that in NY in almost 20 years.

Nice Larry, I dont think I have ever seen one with a tail feather that long. I'm one for one on pheasants and 4 and 0 on geese.

I'm lucky if I even see one down here. Only seen 5 in the wild in my life.

I got my mount back from the taxidermist.  It came out very good.  And the 27" tailfeather won me a brand new 20ga O/U.
