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!!

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...
