Yote Hunting in Eastern Tennessee

[RaschChronicles]

Felows,

Anyone willing to fill another fellow in on the subject?

I intend to get me one for a proper hat,(None of that silly coon skin hat stuff for me, no sir!)and I thought you all might have some good skinny on the particulars.

I'm a close range sort of fellow, on account of my eyes, but I can hold offhand to an inch at 50 meters. My varmint gun is a Ruger 77/22 in 22 KHornet, and the second will be a flintlock Tennesse Mountain rifle in 32 cal. I guarantee it will be a tack driver because I am building it myself. I am also a rank amateur at calling.

I should have looked up the season, but if you all could fill me in on that too, I would be much obliged. I need to start building up my Tennessee library with those kind of details while I am at it!

Winter pelt will make a lovely hat.

All that is left is to find the lucky donor!

Rasch let me know how it goes? I have a pelt off one I shot last deer season in my freezer. I was thinking of making a hat myself just haven't taken the next step.

TN Buckeye,

I'll start doing the research, and forward what I find to you. I remember reading the instructions, but what I can't recall is where or when!

Buckeye,

Unfortunately my quick search did not reveal any references to the construction of a fur hat. I'll have to think up different phrases to search for, but I did find the following purveyor of patterns: Fur Hat Patterns
They have the mountainman style, and the classic style like Davey Crockett's.

Found instructions, but no pictures: Make a Coonskin Hat
More to follow
