Title: Mink/elk/deer/beaver and some cowhide for good measure shooting bag
Post by: Plainsman on December 17, 2012
Well I decided that since my new flinter is getting closer to being done from Mongrel I needed a new bag.

Top flap is Mink fur from a vintage mink fur stole I came across, with elk rawhide, with hair on for trim on the bottom.

Bag is a mix of elk hide, cow hide and deer rawhide, with a little mink fur thrown in for fun. The claws are beaver, with vintage trade beads.

D rings I forged, and the strap was a thrift store find.

And rubbed down with bear fat for good measure.

What a good looking combo. And I really like your "D" rings with the twists, a nice extra custom touch.
