True..but if they fall off naturally and you find one....I find eagle feathers all the time, but there are those out there that take offence at the taking of them.
Not sure they can tell the difference - just always assumed that it was "any feather" for a non native.True..but if they fall off naturally and you find one....
I have heard that too....Not sure they can tell the difference - just always assumed that it was "any feather" for a non native.
Bear is definitely eatable though if they have access to salmon it makes the meat stink thus in eatable (sp?), the pelt however is usable but at this time of year they will look like shit as they just finished shedding the winter coat & will likely have thin/bald in spots.
I feel a little dirty after reading this.
I don’t know the law here but I’ve been told that any feather other than a chicken and it’s jail time and fines . I don’t think most people know the difference between chicken or turkey or blue jay or bald eagles but some do . So I made it a personal policy to leave feathers alone..... I might pick one up and look at it but I leave it there, I’ve heard stories of people having to deal with some bs and I don’t need that shit. I do love a good cowboy hat with a rattlesnake band full of vulture feathers ...... and listening to some drunk arguing that it is black eagles......
Well decided to take a walk about along the property. And guess who I found..

I've always been concerned about bringing mites in by picking up feathers. There have been studies done about mites migrating off feathers before molting but how do you tell the difference between a molted and plucked feather and what happens if some of the mites didn't get the molting memo? My dust mites are a territorial bunch and don't want another gang moving in on them.I don’t know the law here but I’ve been told that any feather other than a chicken and it’s jail time and fines .

The USA has the same law(s), one of the oldest to protect birds/animals; Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) 1918. Enacted to further strengthen the Lacey Act of 1900 and stop the plume hunting and skin trade. The "G" still takes that seriously if you're caught.Feathers generally come from migratory birds, so they're considered "parts of birds" and fall under the migratory bird act (Canada). Eagle feathers are sacred and because of legislation, only natives can touch or use them (unless they were a gift from elders). It falls under some act or other, it's early and I don't have a caffeine ppm in my system yet.
