Ho Capt,
 The commercial brain tan buckskin comes from Portland Leather... apparently
it is tanned using brains, is white, but only "suede" on one side (not
scraped) and of course, not smoked. I'll wait till I can get the real stuff...

Steve,

I guess you didn't know that I live right next to the Hanford
Reservation and am familiar with most of the wild life in these parts.
What you and your companions shot was a Hanford Reach Deer Mouse. They
not only carry Hantaviris but have enough residual radiation in them to
cook five Swanson Extra Helping Frozen Turkey Dinners.

 I see you are almost there on how to properly take them in not so fair
chase. We don't shoot them as you tried to do and were lucky enough to
accomplish. You have found out how hard they are to kill. We use a
special trap set up that is very similar to how we trap sasquatches. It
intails a large tripod made of teepee poles though your setup doesn't
look big enough for a full grown sasquatch much less a cub. There is
more that I could tell you about your kill but the most important thing
to remember is not to let anyone still of breeding age or inclination
stand close to the critter for more than about 5 minutes. Actually time
and distance can make for longer exposures without serious radiation
burns and sterility but the formula is too complicated.

If you put one in the creek up stream from your camp you can drink the
water in front of camp without worry about any bugs getting into your
lower tract. We never eat them but we do use them to irradiate our meat
so it won't go bad. My suggestion as to how to use the animal is simply
to put it next to your freezer and in about 3 days you can turn the
freezer off and the food inside will never spoil. Put the carcass on the
far side of the freezer from the family room. I remain....

=============================================================
QUESTION.
I think it was Savage that made an O/U 410 and a 45.
I just wanted some input on that because the 410 and the 45 are so close.
What would be the advantage?
The 410 can put out a slug better then a 45.
I stand to be corrected but maybe a 410 and a 22LR would be better?

Steve,

It's not a clear picture, but I'd say from the shape of the tail and the
size compared to the tripod that you bagged a mid-sized mountain lion.  I
don't know another mammal with a tail like that.

Subject: MtMan-List: Blocking wool hats

For the most authentic look, avoid reblocking your felt hats, particularly
the brims.  Look at the drawings by Alfred Jacob Miller, who drew the
"hillbilly" looking hats on the mountaineers.  When worn for even part of a
season, the hats naturally became misshapen.

Of course, if you let them dry when off your head, they will be too small,
so some reblocking of the crown may be necessary to get them to fit again,
but the brim can stay naturally .

Subject: MtMan-List: Stitchin reply

Steve: I've been doing custom handsewn leather goods ( specialize in the fur
trade era ) for about 10 years or so. The first way is with sinew from the
back strap and legs of the buffalo, the Indians major food source. A real
pain in the butt to sew with but THE most authentic thread. The one that I
use is handspun brown linen thread that I beeswax for ease of sewing and
added protection from moisture and wear. Linen is made from the flax plant
and is stronger and less likely to rot when wet than sinew. It is also
documented for the time period. The stuff you see all around you today is
"artificial sinew" which is nothing more than beeswaxed nylon. Very hard on
leather in the long haul because it has the tendency to cut rather than
break as the years go by.
    I use a saddle or back stitch because both are much stronger than a
running stitch. I guarantee my stitching for life so I use the strongest
one.
    Commercial carpet layers used to use linen in carpet repair but have
mostly gone to glue now but if you look hard enough you may be able to fine
it.
    Finally, I am an AMM member and have sewn skins and mocs for brothers
who just don't have the time.Just says they should be hand sewn but you
don't HAVE to do them yourself!  I am right in the middle of upgrading my
web page but if you want to get a closer look at what I do just click on
www.stitchinscotsman.com and if you have any more questions just holler.
Hope this helps some.   JMc   X____
