Made a Ball bag!

[4deer]

I made a ball bag. I used a biz tanned deer hide I did my self. The only thing not hand made about this bag is the thread used to hold it together!

I put some boot oil on it since I mistakenly gave the hide an acid pickle before tanning it. Now it has an odd green color to it.

Why, that looks like something that a common mountain man would have made and carried. I love it!

Good looking bag! Nothing wrong with the color or home made quality there. :hatsoff: Now those RB's on the other hand look like cannon shot. Are they .58's or larger?

Your avatar sure brings back a lot of NC homestead memories...we had WAY too many grays eatin WAY too many guneas and chickens.

Thanks for the kind comments. I was going for the look of something an original longrifle hunter might have carried, so I guess I succeeded!

The balls are only .50 caliber.

Gray fox are my favorite animal to trap. I sort of wish they would bother the my chickens more often. :grin:

Many a gray had a lead vitamin pill after their chicken dinner and I had a number of OK corral shootouts with them ( OK, I was the only one in the corral shootin). I trapped a few and got fox pee on myself doing that. peee-yew! Also, I got pretty good at calling them to me at night doing the squeaky rabbit thing with my lips while holding a Saiga shoot-gun and maglite. The trick was to keep the light off until the last second when they were within 30 or less yards. They would run in zig-zag style at full speed until I lit them up with the Maglite and lead.

A red lens cover on the chargable spot lights are the way to go for night hunting fox or yotes. You can leave the light on continious and it doesn't bother them at all.
I've shot many a gray and a few yotes at night doing that.
