That right there is about the neatest thing I've ever seen. Killed a bunch of coons in my youth but never once thought about making myself a hat.

I'm with Tullymars ! I grew up trapping 'rats n 'coons. Never would have thought to make a hat. Your son just pegged the cool meter ! Congrats. Maybe some hood or collar ruffs ? Mittens ?

Thanks for the nice comments. My motivations now are to build childhood memories for my kids. I hadn't trapped in 30 years. They have come up with new stuff, cable stakes and dog proof traps. No one traps anymore so it's amazing, every trap has a coon nearly every day. We flesh and stretch they and send them to moyle mink and tannery in Idaho. You get back soft tanned fur. My daughters play with them as puppets.

your doing it right mattc. I wanted to do the same with my kids. they really wanted to trap but my wife ut her foot down in a big way. she said knock yourself out with hunting and fishing but has major issues with rapping. anything I said to try to get her to understand he importance fell on deaf ears. So I went out and got a couple beagles instead!

Way too cool! Great minds think alike! Did the same this year. I had one made and when the rest of the family saw them they just had to have one.
