Well, nex time you 'run across' a possum, and it's
not just 'playing dead' for sure, send 'im up here.
And nex time I 'run across' an elk or deer, I'll do
the same. We get tons of skunk. Want one of them?
We get coons, rabbits, squirrels, foxes, coyotes,
porkypines, and once in a while moose. I think you
better pick up the shipping on deer, elk, and moose,
tho.
Problem with the rabbits and squirrels, they don't
slide off to the side of the road when hit, so the
dubbing is pretty well pre-blended, if you catch my
drift. LOL They fit well into a plastic baggie,
tho.
Winterkill critters are OK, because there ain't NO
bugs out when it's 20 below zero.

Don, How does regular ol Alabama possum work???
I JUST ran across one a while ago, but My wife had
groceries in the car and wouldn't let me stop and
get it LOL, But I run across them pretty often here,

Reuven,
I LOVE that Australian possum hide that you
sent Jimi for the swap. It rope-dubbs perfectly,
blends great, and stacks like wool.
Those who got the possum strips in Jimi's
material swap have gotta try it out.
I've seen Australian and New Zealand possum
dubbings in bags, but it's already clipped and
blended, so stacking is out. Also, when it's
pre-blended, one cannot choose a particular portion
of the hide to harvest hair for a particular look in
the dubbing.
Now I can't wait for the wombat.
Don
