Thanks, guys.  Gives me some ideas to work with.  Much of the images I see online look too much like "man purses", which I just cannot do.

I showed online pictures from my searching to my wife and 95% of them i got a reply of "oh, that's cute".  So she's my litmus test  ;D

Deer possibles bag / Raccoon and deer fire kit bag / Squirrel and deer neck bags. I harvested , skinned, tanned and sewed all of them. Far from perfect but all handmade. The deer hides were brain tanned and the squirrel skin and raccoon hide were Dixie tanned.  The neck bags I made as a pair (one for my grandson and one for me).

DC:
Dixie tanned???

BrianS:
DC,
Blue Ridge Products out of VA makes Dixietan paste. Not sure what is in it but it smells like sassafras. Easy to work with small pelts. Not sure how it would be with a deer hide. I usually buy mine at a local trappers Show but I think it can be bought online.

DC:
