Hat Is Done

[AKPirate]

That should be good for getting a couple of free beers at the VFW Jim. Nice cap!

[Goldfish]

Your dog sits and stares at the fire too? Mine will lay right in front of the fireplace and bout touches her nose to the glass and stares for as long as it's on

Where's the tail?

Never mind, opened my eyes for once and there it was. Very slick hat!

[flight control]

Nice hat, I might have to try this someday

[Redbeard]

Nice work Jimbo.

By the way Jehler, is this Jr's first time commenting on the forum(s)? A historic moment perhaps?

Can't say I blame him for that decision.

Noticed the background, do you play?

I pick around. Can't fingerpick worth a damn, so I usually just aggravate the wife by sitting there making up songs for whatever she happens to be doing at the moment. Want to get a classical some day.

[Tomkat]

That's pretty bad ass. Make sure yo wear to the no coast hunt!

BULLSHIT. If he wears that out here, I am taking it. I need one of those to be a real muzzle loader hunter!

[grizz18]

Thats pretty dang awesome.

Awesome hat

I want to do a skunk so bad. But I'll admit it- I'm scared. Those **** stink something horrible. All I did was reset a trap a week after I had a skunk in it, but forgot my gloves, so did it barehanded. When I got home a couple hours later the old lady almost threw up from the stench. And that was nothing but dirt on my hands

Luckily, I don't mind the smell of skunk. H202, baking soda, and dawn can get rid of the smell if needed. Works on the fur and yourself.

If you want one for a hat, I'd say a small cage trap would be easiest, so they won't spray. If you are brave enough, acetone injected to the lungs. If not, knock them out with ether (put the cage in a large tote/box) and then inject. No mess, ho holes.

I have a nice fat one I'll be making into a hat some time. I made his slightly smaller buddy into a wall hanger a year or two ago.

I guess I actually saw a picture that made me think that. I thought I just made that up in my head.

I could twist up some mean ass steelhead flies with that sucker! They're becoming popular as an alternative to polar bear. A local guy here traps, tans and dyes them, then sells little 2sq" patches for $4 each.

I've always pictured Assa looking and sounding exactly like Dale.

Oh, and killer hat!

[Tomkat]

The hat was cool...but I have to say, a really good skunk hat would probably top it.

I'll have to tell my son about this. He has 3 skunks right now that he intends to tan. Matter a fact, I just got off the phone with him a minute ago and kinda dropped the idea of making a hat with a couple of them.
I would think if you can sell 2sq" for $4, you'd be better off selling that way instead of the $10 the fur buyers pay.

I have threatened to get the phantom goose hat for GKR many times. If I had me a skunk hat I would eagle claw him with that!!!

Here's the guy's page with the skunk hair. He's in St Helens.
http://www.aaronmostojfeathers.com/fur-and-hair.html

Says they're 3" before dying, but the ones I checked out that my friend bought looked to have shrunk. There's a lot to getting the dying process and colors right, but I think you could also sell a lot of just natural black and white, especially the ones with a lot of white.

Hell, if your son's only getting $10 from the buyer, I'll give him $15 for a whole natural pelt. (Unless of course there's something illegal about that. I'm not up on the laws of the fur trade.)

Careful with the skunk hats guys, great horned owls love skunks

[(MT)Montanafowler]

nice hat Jim! something tells me you watched Fess Parker as a kid

[3legged_lab]

I have to admit - I'd own a skunk hat.

[Tomkat]

I have to admit - I'd own a skunk hat.

I am hoping if we badger AT enough he might make one, and if I am REALLY nice to him, he might make an extra one for his libertarian buddy out in Kansas....

Here is a pic I pulled off the web.



I mean, come on. THAT is some style right there....

Good. I'd like a great horned owl hat too.

[assateague]

If I wasn't such a chickenshit, my coonskin cap would have an eagle feather hanging from the tail.
