Evening Reuven, Mink has 2 properties to it, a very fine under fur, great for dubbing, as well as guard hairs, great for tailing material on small flies. I have several shades of it and will make sure that you get some of each for your generosity. I also have a small amount of Badger and gray Fox that is set aside for you in the swap. As to deer hair, I have several types and can send some as a bonus for our "Off Shore" friend, (plus as swapmiester I can throw in a lot of things for the folks in the swap as a "Thank You"). I parted out a full elk hide last year to folks for just postage and an envelope. This year I hope to have some fresh Badger, Coyote, Red and Gray Fox, as well as some Bob Cat fur, (read Hides), to offer to the group. I am starting to feel a bit more "Spunky" after having this growth removed and hope my body holds out of a winter season of Varmint control. If you have any special requests for materials, drop me a note off list to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I will see if I can find it for you. Looks Like a great Materials swap brewing..... Jimi
I would die for some!! Just one question though- How does someone "FIND" half an elk hide????? I have some tiny patches of deer and know each by family name, dislikes and even hobbies and you "find" half a hide?????? Just out of curiousity, how much would that set someone back?? Even if the swap wouldn't go ahead, I'd send you as many possums as you like. I spent half of last night trying to track down the possum guy and he still has some left....not that I know where from though!! I cannot even imagine where he got these from. He even has a mink skin for sale, which is something I have never seen before here in Australia in any form be it skin, dubbing, zonkers, etc(not that I have the money for it anyway but one must do what one must do!!) If anyone else has goodies that they "discovered" let me know, even separate from the swap. I'd be able to swap for the Tasmanian possum. In the wise words of Stimpy -"Oh joy"!.
