Buckskins?

[prairie dog]

I made leggings from an elk hide and they are too heavy.  If I make any more skins, they will be deer or antelope.

I like it all.

This is the Frock again with leggin's an breech clout in a painting by Marian Anderson for the National Wild Turkey Federation. She did the painting from a photograph. That's my fowler in the bow of my birch bark canoe but the turkey was taken with the bow an arraw. The title of the print, "The Longhunter"

What's your opinion of wearing buckskins Ron? Comfortable, or not?

[Longhunter]

Yes, they're very comfortable in my opinion. Even in the heat of summer people would ask, "aren't you hot in those buckskins?", I tell them no, the skins actually insulated my body from the heat.

[Muley]

Ok, good deal bud.

We miss you over on Jon's forum. Don't be a stranger.

Muley - I have 30 or so hides that I got from a local processor - Had like 50 but they got wet somehow and had some deterioration - so I just chucked them but I would check with processors in your area and see what they get.

You will need 6-8 hides depending on your size and the size of the hides - to make a full set 3 for pants and 3-4 for jacket/frock.
