new pouch

[David R. Pennington]

Well, I had this skunk hide, and this nice strap and they looked like they ought to go together. I don't know, what do you think?

[RoaringBull]

I think they look pretty good together.

David, beautiful work, the strap compliments it perfectly.

Only constructive thing I could add is that I would not wear it in the bush. Cannot think of a way to better look like an ungulate then by wearing that white rump patch!

It will probably get most of it's use on woods walk target shoots with my .40 rifle. I am trying to get a bag matched up for each rifle so I can grab and go. I most likely won't use it hunting.

She's a pretty little stinker.  I like it.  How about a hat to match.

[Clowdis]

It's different, I like it!

[Rolf]

That is a beauty of a pouch!!

Best regards

  I like the hair on look.I bought 3,,  1/2 cow hides and 20 smaller fur on tanned pelts awhile back and asked about hair on pouches.I like it, though I would be careful about carrying them it the woods,,not all "hunter" positively identify the target,,Sure would hate to get a hole shot in my "pouch"

I get very little of the luxury of time for hunting anymore and if I do it is with a flintlock on my cousins farm late in the season after all his nephews and friends have gotten what trophies they want. Unless someone is trespassing I won't see another hunter. The last six years I have hunted one day each season for deer and killed one deer each time except last year. My freezer has had no venison for a while.
 I never understood anyone mistaking a man for a game animal. I have never seen a man that resembled a deer or vice versa.
I do believe some jealous husbands around here have gotten revenge in this manner before.
I have never taken a shot I wasn't reasonably sure of making a clean kill on so I can't comprehend the mistaken identity "accidents".
A friend of mine related a story about the first time he went hunting with his brother in law who was a physician. The brother in law fired several rounds into the brush and when questioned what he shot at he replied, not sure I just heard a noise. My friend unloaded the brother in laws rifle and took him home.

 The old reliable "sound shot". There was a man in this area that hunted with a 10 Gauge double barrel shotgun and he used this method and was locked up after he hurt another man with that old cannon.

David considering the right arm you must have from swinging your Blacksmith's hammer I pity the shooter who merely wounds you LOL.

Seriously though walking away from someone that pouch will look 100% like a deer bum. no question about it.

Do not underestimate the tricks that eyes can play.

One day I was watching a doe on a field edge. After an hour a 'buck' stepped out in the wide open and stood  50 yards from her. being certain it was a deer I almost raised my rife.    Prudence ruled and I looked thru the binos first. There in the wide open in decent dusk/legal shooting light was a man in camo with a rifle sung on his back and some kind of bugle call around his neck and the triangle of a t-shirt neck showing. (he was 2 miles into a trespass). Try as I might I could not make him into a man with the naked eye. Scared the $#*! out of me. 

Alot of accidents occur because the shooter responded to movement, a white flash to a  deer hunter generally equals deer. Once the adrenaline is up even a careful person could make the mistake of two lifetimes and do something regretted by many people for a long time. 

Your still hunting along, pushing some deer ahead of you, hunter on a stand gets a good look at them, they wind him and turn back past you. you hear them, now behind you and turn slowly to face that direction. Hunter on stand now sees a deer bum right where he saw a real deer a few minutes before.............

I know it isn't Historically Correct but wear a hunter orange vest and especially orange on the hat.  Historically the hunter wasn't as likely to encounter other hunters as we are today.
