Very sweet! I have the same color pheasant at home and will make some of those bad boys!

Thanks for sharing and the idea!

Very cool having the hint of green under the black collar. Looks great.
Beautiful and neatly done, Eunan!

The dye jobs look great.

Sweet!!

I really like this, great stuff. The "natural" Pheasant rump looks like you dyed it blue!!
Where do you get your dye? What is your procedure for dying?
