If you give Jim Slattery a call (406-646-7258), he may be able to sell you some game bird skins. I do not believe he has any listed on his website (
http://www.jimsflyco.com/), but I think he has some stashed away.
If Jim doesn't have what you need, you can any of the following sellers:

I have purchased from all of these locations, and can vouch for the excellent quality of the natural game skins.
I have never purchased from this last vendor, but hear his materials are of good quality for traditional patterns.
