Me and Abby will be out there Sometime in the Am on Saturday. I think she is wanting to play ion the snow, it dose not snow were she is from.
 I might bring a hide out to smoke too. Were really going to need to find some more good punk wood thats dry allot of the stuff got wet a week or so ago and froze and has not had a chance to dry out yet.

It's the same up here too, Pappy. Cold and snowy, got about 4". Did you get any snow, by the looks of the radar,you did. Well tomorrow starts smoke pole season for four days. I'm going out, hope to put one down, or at least see one. It's been getting pretty scarce where I'm hunting, been for a while, used to be I see some every time I went out.  Still plan on coming down soon. Got to get with BearG and see what weekend would be good for us and you. Steve might come too. Talk to you soon.     Brother Dan

Had a great weekend,cold ,snowy but good. Hunted some ,no deer but cool to get to hunt in the snow,we don't get to do that much here.Woody,Jesse and myself spent the weekend working on hides,got 2 finished and 3 racked up.I think we have 6 more left.The brain tanning is a lot of work but well worth it when you get that fine piece of finished leather.Here are some pictures of the weekend.Hope yall had a good one also. I also opened the gifts Dave sent me,some mighty fine
tree stands,I told him he didn't need to do that but he insisted,Thanks Dave. :) My girls also had a great time in the snow,they rolled around in it all weekend like it was 80 degrees. :) The last picture was my hide as I stretched it and finished drying it,before the last smoking. :)

Supper, nothing like a good night fire when it is cold. :) Making some lacing with a new tool Woody brought,makes some great lacing out of scrap pieces you can't do much else with. Also me testing a hat of Woody's,it is very warm,may have to have one of them,and I look so good in it to boot. ;) ;D ;D

Hides racked up,and some finshed product.Mine had some holes but still turned out pretty nice.Woody's was one Jesse had that was very clean as far as holes and turned out really
nice also.All in all it is a lot of work but very rewarding when you are finished,we plan on doing about 10 this year and I am sure I will never throw another hide away,even if you don't want to tan
it you can make some very nice rawhide with a lot less work. A weekend with good friends even out in the cold all day I really didn't pay much attention to it,I can't understand people that don't get out and enjoy the outdoors,make you feel alive. :)    Life is Good. :)

That hide tanning is cool stuff, sorry I missed out on it. Looks like yall are quick becoming experts at it, so I shouldn't lack for some teachers at some point. ;)  They turned out really good looks like!
