Hunting in period gear....
hedgeapple:
I made the coat from 4 deer hides I tanned. The yoke was from a coyote, not tanned just salt treated. I ran out of material while making the coat and used the coyote. I have since removed the coyote yoke. It feel apart. I think I wear that coat next season. I had gotten away from much of the primitive hunting. It's time to return to my roots. ;)
hawkbow:
Great job brother, for me any harvest taken in the old way with honor and integrity.. is well worth the effort it takes to make the harvest...what an old warrior that hog was.. Hawk a/ho
JackCrafty:
Hunting in buckskins is something I've wanted to do for a long time. Soon I'll have enough leather stockpiled to make myself a nice shirt. Gotta start somewhere. :)
Stonedog:
Wow! It's good to know that I am not the only weirdo that like to dress up and hunt!
stickbender:
Well it looks like I might have to make some dress up stuff too. Hawkbow, how did the Grizzly get a hold of your sleeve?
did you do the Montan three s's thing? Shoot, shovel, and shut up. ;) Or for me S%$t, Scream, and Scram! ;D Nice outfits, guys.
Brain tanned, or commercial? Unfortunately I can't wear moccasins, due to super sensitivity and plantar's facieitis, or however it is spelled. So I have to have something more substantial, with padding. I'd look like a pigeon on a hot sidewalk, in a pair of moccasins, walking across the ground. ;) Ever get any weird stares from other hunters? I think it was Jim Hamm, I read about in Sports afield, or Outdoor life, years ago, and they did a story on primitive hunting, and it showed him all decked out in his finest buckskins, with bead work moccasins and all. Not sure if it was him, but I think it was. Anyway, I thought it was a bit much to go hunting, dressed like you were going to Pow Wow. ;D
