jkyarcher:
I was wondering if anyone has use squirrel tails as string silencers. when skinned out they are

real light and real fluffy I think they would work but I was wondering if anyone has tried it before.

nclonghunter:
cool idea....should work well

Pat B:
I wouldn't use them untanned. I would think they would pick up moisture from humidity and begin to snell or worse. It is a cool idea though.

JW_Halverson:
My very first kill with a primitive bow was a cottontail.  I field dressed the bunny on the spot and cut two strips of hide from his back and promptly made silencers for the bow.  The rawhide bunny-balls survived 7 years until it got gnawed off the string by a dadblasted dog!  Of course it hasn't rained those 7 years in the interim, so they stayed pretty dry.

skyarrow:
Hmm good idea my dog just killed a squirrel yesterday I think il try it out il just cut the strips and salt them till I decide to use them :)
