Title: Red stag quiver
Post by: H Rhodes on February 23, 2015, 08:35:31 pm

Back in October I had the good fortune to take a red stag which wandered off some game preserve and underneath the wrong guy's treestand.;)  My good friend Robbie Limerick made me a fine quiver from part of the skin.  Here is a picture of his good workmanship.  He acorn tanned the skin which left the skin a deep chestnut brown.  I am glad he left the hair side out.  The reddish tint and dark guard hairs from the hindquarters will always remind me of that hunt.  Thanks again Robbie.
