“They do make good fur coats however.”

Beau saved pelts from raccoons he harvested over the course of a year - just the ‘really pretty ones.’ He had them tanned and then had a local gal make him a Raccoon Vest. It is awesome! And since he’s 6’3” and I am 5’ 1” it makes a GREAT sleeveless coat for me too! Looks ADORABLE with fleece-lined leggings, leather boots and a chunky knit sweater. ;) I know you care about FASHION as much as I do, Pete, LOL!

I have a Raccoon Earband (same seamstress) that always gets me compliments when I wear it, but Beau gets ‘PETTED’ by EVERYONE that sees him in that vest.

Obviously we live where ‘fur is not considered murder.’ It’s flippin’ COLD up here in the wintertime! :)

I can see both walking around in R.Way looking like you stepped out of an episode of Vikings! (Diana! Where is my Axe!)

Shopping done, you take your bags of groceries back to your F150, climb in, and drive home. :)
