Prices are just going higher and higher every day. A medium quality neck 15-20 yrs ago was 30-40 bucks, now ( if you can find one) 80- 100!! So grin and bear it, but have fun!!!
To add to your input...my first fly tying materials...when I was about 10 years old...came from picking up loose feathers in my aunt's chicken coop. As I grew older and more knowledgeable, I volunteered at "processing time" to salvage both hen and rooster capes and
dle patches...and to cure them myself. Cheap...but messy and time consuming to do it right.Can't remember the last time I bought a neck, but I can remember almost fainting a short while back when I saw how much a good grizzly neck was selling for. Heck , you could even get a couple dozen eggs for that amount.
