The Ringneck

Introducing, ‘The Ringneck.’ Hand machined from aircraft grade titanium with ring-necked pheasant tail feather inlaid around the band.

I grew up pheasant hunting on Denman Wildlife Refuge in Southern Oregon with my Grandpa chasing our German Shorthaired Pointer ‘Reba.’ I made so many memories walking through the grasslands along the fog-covered ponds of the refuge. My little heart would always start racing whenever Reba went on point. There is just something special about a crisp fall morning filled with cackling birds all around you and Grandpa's voice yelling Rooster! We had some of our best talks walking back to the truck with our limits. I still have the image burned in my mind of my Grandpa packing his shotgun, Reba by his side wearing his bright orange vest with tail feathers poking out each side. You can share that visual with me if you are a pheasant hunter.

Whether you're flushing roosters on the Great Plains of South Dakota, chasing birds in the Big Sky country of Montana, or you are one of those more questionable fellas ground sluicing, “ditch chickens” on a county road. I hope every time you look at your ring, it takes you back to birds lined up on the tailgate or one of those wonderful memories you have made hunting these beautiful birds.

I can also put ashes under the inlay of the feather if you don't have your grandpa around anymore, like me, or your hunting buddy. It’s kinda special to have them with you on many more hunts. I say it brings good luck!

You can send your own feather in or I can use one of my own. When ordering, select send ring sizers under sizing. There will be a return label in the envelope, so be careful when opening the package so you can reuse it. Take your tail feather and snip the bottom off where the plumage starts and the top off so it is short enough to fit in the package. Place the feather sandwiched flat between two pieces of cardboard with the edges taped. Please put it in the bubble mailer, tape it shut, slap the return label on, and drop it in the mail. Don't forget your ring sizers! Super easy, no hassle.
