Great pics! I can see lots o love in those photos. Well, maybe not in the bobcat pic. But that one gets points for just being cool!

I'm going to ask that, sometime in late January or early February, you repost this. It's summer all over your pics, and I'm going to need a hit of summer then.

So beautiful! I bet you're tremendously proud. Great work, Barnyardgal!

Your pictures are wonderful and such a beautiful lady! I'm really impressed with your trapping/tanning skills! Do you sell or make things with your furs?
This is something my husband has always wanted to start doing. Did you learn how to do this on your own or grow up learning this? I would like to hear more Thank you for sharing!

I always like looking at other folks pics so thought i would share some of my own for no particular reason-

The bobcat hide i tanned as i caught in the live trap-he was after my chickens although i keep them locked up at night...wanted to tan his hide since i figured i would never get another one so looked up easy ways on the net & found them & tanned his hide now he is hanging on my wall....

Decided to tan the rabbit hides since i raise them,as had a couple pretty colored pelts so tanned them now i use them on an end table as a doily-kind of-they turned out pretty good-still a little stiff but don't mind...tanned rabbit hides the way i tanned the bob cat & learned from the internet...

Your hubby can learn to tan also..just read it up on the net...got any more questions i will try to answer....Thanks for asking & Good luck to your hubby as he can do it to~~~

Well, we're glad you posted them! The way it would work here is he would trap and I would do the tanning..although it probably would be a good idea for me to learn how to trap too
