« on: February 22, 2012, 05:44:58 pm »
While returning from the store today I found a groundhog about a hundred yards from my house that someone had hit.I got him skinned and fleshed. I haves no idea what I wanna do with the hide. I'm open to ideas.

Tan it and make about 100-150 string silencers. Maybe a cool fur on pouch.

Maybe if you shoot 14-16" arrows it could be a quiver. Otherwise you may get a little top heavy.

LOL that's great Gus  ;D . I wanna make something useful and the silencers sound good but unfortunately I've never made one before. And I don't know anything about primitive drums.

If you sew the eyes nose and mouth shut, you can leave the face on and gain a few inches. This is my youngest daughters skunk quiver.  With 26" arrows.   Josh   .
