Ed,

My lovely wife purchased a buffalo skin possibles bag for me.  It's just
right with a lined interior, it has a front and a back pocket with a small
pocket in the front.  I like pockets.  This it what I carry my
possibles in.
My shooting bag is a belt pouch that does not leave my side.  This is made
of oiled cows leather.

I've made a few bags in the past that I liked but did not really use.  One
was made of a badger skin with the face as the flap.  Good looking bag but
not very practical.  D bags work well and I still have one packed
and ready
to go when I hunt with the Colt revolvers.  One other bag that I made was
out of buckskin.  It's kinda long and looks great but I feel the
buckskin is
just too light.

By the way, you should have rec'd the powder horn kit.  I threw in an old
butcher knife, wipe the blade with mayo and wrap in plastic and
leave in the
fridge for a few days and it will make the blade look like old steel.

I also threw in a pair of mocs.  The bottoms are double soled cowhide and
the uppers are buckskin.  They are a size 9.5, I figure either you or your
son can wear them.  If not pass them on.

When you want to build the powderhorn, email me and I will walk
you through
it.  I've made a few and it's not hard, but it does stink a wee bit.

Frank

Folks,

I am starting to need to put together a possibilies bag and
      
would like to
    
know what you'll think about what kind of hide to make it out of.  I am
considering elk but I think price might push me to deer.  Your thoughts.
