I like the authentic look of the pickling and they’re firm enough to lace without tearing out. Or, anyone know how I can get that “ 70’s roadside Indian Trading Post” smell on them? Thanks

I guess you could always go make some sassafras tea and spray it on the fur later. I did the dixietan once and the coon hide molded and fell apart inside three weeks lol. Pretty sure the directions didn't have a pickling step or I'd still have the hide. http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php
