New hobby (Curing hides)
I have taken on another hobby (like I need another one). I have started curing different animal pelts. Shot this raccoon last year . She weighed in at 21 lbs and used it as my "test" skin. Came out great. Tried the same thing on a few cat and red squirrels and some came out good some came out ok and some, well, I just had to throw away. I shot my first black squirrel a few weeks ago and tried the process on him and finished him up last night. I only have pics of the coon hide, but will get pics of the black squirrel as soon as I can. If anyone wants to learn this, let me know and I'll walk you through it.
Its a very fun and rewarding hobby in my eyes.
