I already know how to sew and I can tan a fur so this will be a fun project for myself. I think It would be funny to wear it to school, I’d get looks but I’d still be proud of it.

In grade 7 I got kicked out for rolling up a muskrat skin and hanging it out my fly. Sounds like something I would have done! I did accidentally drop a bottle of Hawbakers Raccoon lure in the middle of the hallway before class. Kids walked through it, not knowing, and scented the entire school! Chris >>In God we trust<<
