---GUTSHOT--->:
I tanned these pelts just thought I would post them

Grey fox killed w/ my bow
2 Bobcats 1 trapped other killed w/ shotgun
Mink roadkill cased for a mini bow and arrows my daughter is making.
3 Riverotters cased and sending to Don Burchett
And excuse the crappy pic I just can't get a good pic to post

I use Mckenzie pickling acid, tanning cream, and leather oil

The more you break the hides the softer they get the grey and bobcats are as soft and plyable as bed sheets out of a dryer. The otters and mink are semi soft they all will be used for quivers so you want them alittle stiffer

bjrogg:
Pertty cool you got that grey with your bow. They are a pretty small target when you take the fur off them and scrappy buggers too
