I saw this article in the Sunday paper and thought of the Twin Oaks boys. Mepps lures uses squirrel tails for their spinners. Mepps will either buy your squirrel tails or trade them for fishing lures. Contact Jim Martinsen via email meppsman@mepps.com or go to mepps.com/squirrels.

With the amount of those critters you take, you should be able to outfit the entire state of Tennessee.

Mark, enjoyed what time I had out there this weekend. actually had to work a little today (labor day), but came out afterwards. No one was there, but worked on the self bow some and then shot the targets by the pavilion with the hunting bow. Check the flight of my broad heads on the bails, flying good. Now just need to sharpen them for the 22nd.
 :) :) :)
