Thread: How tough can it get?

YEP.I rekon ya can.You can make em out of about anything that has a skin on it. Takes many a squirrel tho them are little critters A coon is better cause them are bigger and more fur to keep yo head warm.

New for 2006 is the squirrel hat. I don't see much demand for these things though. This hat was made from 5 roadkilled squirrels. Don't tell me you were never out for a ride and passed by a freshly roadkilled animal and thought 'maybe I could make a hat from that hide?'

Thanks loserville and duckman for the advice. I am sorta partial to a skunk hat. Hate to kill it just for the fur tho. Is skunk good eats duckman?

Well i guess you can eat em once you get past the smell,TAST LIKE CHICKEN Posums eat eat em and you can eat possum And for your skunk hat you dont have to kill it do like lville says just drive up and down the road and just find one that a car has hit and scoop him up but just keep your eyes open for cars if you noticed that skunk didnt so dont you wind up like him

I've been making some runs down into Alabama. I thinkin' about scooping out an armadillo.

Just a reminder to all of us, that the latest batch of Republicans presidential hopefuls are still dedicated to the ultra rich business people and refuse to renounce the tax breaks for them and their companies-which will just bite the moderately rich, middle and lower classes in the end to where they pay out taxes out of proportion to what they earn (remember it is the ultra rich business people who have the goal of globalism (all well as the Commies and Socialists): which is not merely doing business worldwide but also the desintegration of all nations and countries-the reason "the establishment" is no longer protecting the integrity of U.S. culture, language and borders-and President George Bush got us to where we were on the brink of the Great Depression II because of the foolish deregulation of banks that was originally put in place to protect the consumer (you and me) from being deceived by immoral business people. I watched the debates in the Republican primaries and turned the TV off in disgust. I really am starting to believe the GOP tells its politicians what to do and how to act-ex FL governor Charlie Crist accepted money from Presidnet Obama for the state of FL and got in trouble with the GOP over it-and he wound up running as an Independent the next time he ran for governor because of it. Funny how the GOP whined about helping the unemployed of FL saying it's adding to the national defict, yet nary a peep about giving the ultra rich business people extra tax breaks for them and their companies, and it is largely their fault we came into this recent financial mess to begin with? And nary a peep about driving down wages, hiring illegal immigrants and giving our jobs away overseas? That if we're all poor and can't afford to take care of ourselves we will not longer be able to "stimulate the economy" and get ourselves out of danger of the Great Depression II? All I'm saying is don't trust the GOP anymore than anyone else, for they too want to rule the world without regard to what We the People think.

I agree..Very well said

duckman, possums are only good for chuckin'! We had a lot of them around where we used to live. They are likely to carry rabies around here, and they would snarl and growl at our cats in our own backyard, so my teen son would pin them down with his boot, grab it by the tail, put it into a bucket, or garbage can (depending on the size of the possum) and we'd take it out into the countryside and toss it out onto the side of the road. We named this redneck sport "possum chuckin' "!!!

We got rid of about 20 possums in one summer like that....got rid of the whole breeding population in our area (and did any of our neighbors thank us? No, ungrateful people.). Out in the countryside they have to contend with coyotes mainly, and this keeps the population thin, where we used to live, they bred and survived like ganbusters with no predators.

Now we're out in the country, and at night, you can hear about 3 or 4 families of coyotes howling...do you see any possums out here? No, not one.

Besides, they look like huge fat rats to me.

I agree liz possums arent good for nothing but killing chickens.But you have to got to love a possum no matter if he is getting a chunknig he is still smiling We had a lot of trouble with them when i was a kid they would kill our chickens.Here where i live now we do have alot of coyotes ive shot them right out my back door their thick here.Where you see alot of coyotes you wont see alot of possums or woodchucks here we call em groundhogs the coyotes kill and eat them.

Yeah, few of anything smaller than the coyotes around. We have a couple of fences on our property, and it keeps them at bay, we have 26 hens....and four cats. Don't even see too many raccoons around, and almost no squirrels.
