Could be a unique item up there as the badger is the state animal and they used to tend to frown on people who used the pelts... Now that I live in OK I'd love to get my hands on a badger pelt or two - especially a red badger, as that is my camp name...
Jammin Jim,
I know what you mean,used to be alot of them cranky ol varmints around when I was a kid but know pretty scarce,have one that moved in onthe place so I'm kinda pertective of it.Had a fella in Oklahoma make my bag for me. I know Crazy Crow used to sell badger pelts not sure if they still do,check "em out!! ;D
Tatonka, wear are ya from?
I live in Berlin.
I dont have anything but a shirt, so Il just be wering street cloths most likely, but hope to get some fabric so I can start geting stuff togather.
Few miles north of Redgranite,I hear ya it takes some time to get your "duds" together,then it seems your never satisfied,always changin something!!
(at least I am) thmbsup

Didn't even have a shirt a year ago..traded stuff I had and others needed for what I wanted...got belt knife, great shirt, Kapote, belt, scrim work, even a Squirrel rifle. Had to buy my moc's at the thrift store and then modify them. So there is hope...just did around and get busy as a new trader...P.S. Much of the trading was right here on this forum.
thats the truth... Last April I met a feller by the name of OLD Salt and now look at the gear i have... when I met him all I had was a 54 cal cabellas Hawkin rifle named "poacher"
Don't take long if you get talkin to people... I thank each and every member on this site for helping me refine my persona...
Fox river 50,
I don't know if you ever been to the tradefair but as with some other places ya gotta kinda watch yerself if ya know what I mean!! thmbsup

Im guessing that you mean ya got to be careful not to spend all yer $ in one spot?
let me know if ya want to get tagether and do some shootin...Berlin conservation club is about ten blocks from my house and only costs 5$ a year member fees...thats CHEEEEEP!!!!!!
Fox river 50,
Well that and there always seem to be a few high priced for low quality spots but most are a real good hoss.
When the weather gets warmer like spring we can try an meet up sure,have you ever been to waushara shooting range? It's free and no one around to bug ya,at BCC there always seemed to be big brother lookin over your shoulder. thmbsup
It's been quite a few years since the bagpipers were there,sure made good sounds,look for em every year,wish they'd show up. ;D
