Blacktail:
yeh,i new it was you...i was just trying to remeber the story right..john

smokeu:
Man here in TX its illegal to posess any part of a deer that was killed on the road. I had collected a nasty head off an eight piont for the antlers and stuck it in the woods by my house and something carried it off. then found out it was illegal to do so... oh well

Pahinh.Winh:
It may be illegal to have those deer parts, but who'se going to check up on you?  Keep it quiet for awhile after you collect it, then 'discover' it in a load of yard sale or auction stuff & enjoy it.  Me, I just stand on my Treaty Rights, but you non-Indns don't have those, so you need to come up with good ways to keep the govt from wasting otherwise good finds along the roads.  They don't appreciate good stuff!
About the otter skin - salt it well, leave the salt for 8 hours, then flesh it well, wash it to degrease it, and for a quiver, dry it over a frame of the right shape, hair-side out.  You did thank the spirits of the otter for the gift, right?..

billy:
Yes!  The spirits, and the car that ran it over!!  :)
