Yornoc - God's speed on your recovery! I've only come upon one in all my years in the woods. Back when I was still hunting with a wheel-bow I came across one when I was headed back to my truck at dark-thirty.
Startled me pretty good because the first thing I noticed was its growl! Then he and I studied each other in a stare off for a few minutes before I finally decided it would be a good idea to leave him alone.
Great looking quiver bud! Glad to see you are passing on leathercrafting to your young ones! I'd love a quiver made from one someday. I have a coon skin in the garage just waiting to be sewn up into a back or side quiver. Yours inspires me to get it down and get it put together!
Keep in touch and don't get too bored my friend. Lots of good hunting stories here and other places to take your mind too. Prayers for your recover offered too.
