WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE FOREST?
Each summer I tan 2 deerskins from the prior fall’s harvested deer into leather, using hemlock bark. This year I made a simple rifle sling for a new rifle Santa Claus brought me this Christmas. Thankfully there are many templates online with video instructions as well. We’ll see if the rifle can bring more deerskins in return.
