I don't see any reason you couldn't, but just good honest use will get 'em there eventually...

Most of the leather "waterproofing" says not to use it on suede. I think that is just 'cuz what it will do to the nap of the suede. It should still waterproof it...

I just wanted to use it for hunting. It's smaller than a standard size possibles bag and I really don't need all the stuff in my bag that I take to the range. I also have a few horns and I take my small one hunting.

Coat em with rendered bear fat. That stuff is good for everything. You can put it on your boots, your hair, and even cook with it.  :hairy
