I grew up shooting black powder rifles from the time I was about 6 or so for a number of years. My grandparents made buckskin clothing and would go to rendezvous around California in the 80s/90s. I still have my skunk skin hat they made me. Won awards for my skins and hat too. I remember numerous times as a kid stopping along the highway and scooping up some road kill to take to them to skin and process for hats.
