Small belt bag with a large front pocket, great to keep your flint & steel in and the rest of the bag to hold your fire starting kit in. Bag size is 4 1/2" deep and 5" wide at the opening and 6 1/2" at it's widest point.
This past Thursday Oct.23, I had the opportunity to head to the woods and try my luck at hunting some fall turkey and squirrel. The weather for the day was to be blue sky and lots of sunshine, in the high fifties, a great day to be in the woods. I meet up with my friend who chose to hunt the hard woods so he drove further in and I parked at the gate, I was to hunt the ridge. I parked and quickly got my kit together and picked up my fowler and headed in. After crossing what is called the sand bridge I stopped and took in the woods in its full fall color and thanked god for the day and then primed my flintlock. We were to try for turkeys until lunch time then squirrel in the late afternoon.

In the three times out I was able to take one fox squirrel, the opportunity was there to take my limit of five but I chose not to. Other times I was trying my luck at taking a wild turkey for the fall. Again no luck there but, was able to work and watch different flocks and hopefully learn something from it. So this Sunday, November 15 th , is Michigan opening day for the gun season. This year I will be fortunate to be able to take to the woods and try my luck at a Michigan whitetail buck on opening day. This is something that I haven’t been able to do in a very long time, maybe twenty years or so. I always waited until the opening of the muzzleloading season to start in December. Don't forget to wear your hunters orange. So I have my kit ready to go, my fowler is clean and a new flint added. I am ready and whether I am able to take a buck or not, I will still enjoy my time spent hu...
I made these leg ties up a few years back for myself. Nothing fancy. I have always wanted to try and add some bead work to them, so here they are. I have never done bead work before and who knows they may fall off the first time in the woods. Time will tell.
