Hey....thats an Idea....I know where there is about 10,000 acres of ranch land that they just uprooted every Mesquite for as far as you can see...and pushed them all up into piles....I need to see if I can get permission to go scavenging!!

Coo-wah-chobee:
Ok I got some time last coupla days so here is the tree rat hides with hair I will make 2 strings outta. Been fleshed dried and cut into rough circles with a sharp and I mean SHARP stone flake. Next step is ta cut string thongs and make 2 strings fer the bow. More ta come....bob

cowboy:
I've had tree rat hide strings in the back of my mind for awhile now bob - this will be interesting to see :).

Justin Snyder:
We would have to have trees to have tree rats.  How about rock rats, is that alright Bob.  ;D

Coo-wah-chobee:
These are fox tree rats. Course they are illegal ta hunt in florida. ::) Ya know Justin, I dont see why rockchuck (Woodchuck ) and badger would not work. Hides on critters are different. Fer instance grey rats are worthless IMO. Ya need fox NOT red tree rats (too small ) ! ;D. Deer and such are ok (read crap here). Have used woodchuck an workee good. Fox rat strings have lasted me almost 1000 shots. Damm here come the arguments ! :o Try em and see........bob
