WH the fur will be tanned he wants the skull done grandma will save the fur to make something special for him that will last a lifetine probably a hat when his head stops growing he will also sell the claws and baculum to make a little money for spring break in Anchorage

Maybe I'm naive - but selling the baculum? I wasn't aware but you have me interested...

My wife has one from a great big walrus. She threatens to beat me with it from time to time grin

Very well done! I am not sure WHY I saw this and forgive me if I am wrong but it appears that the stop or ferrule on the 3 picture is on the wrong end of the swivel. I use Rally Hess snares like the one posted in your picture but on mine the stop is on the end that attaches to the tree. Yours appears to be backwards and I am wondering if that contributed to the twisting of the cable. Anyway, enough rambling. That kid looks as proud as a peacock!


I have nothing clever to put here.

160 User I looked at the picture and thought what the heck walked out to the shop and looked at the remains of the snare and you are absolutely correct All I can say is I must have brain farted and never caught it looked through a bunch I had in the shop waiting to be used and no others were upside down guess I shouldn’t be worried it seems to have done the job smile
