LOL... I have a pair in the drainage ditch on the farm ( where they are considered pests )... I think the DNR is still trying to decide if they want to relocate them, or if they are going to let me dispose of them... but I can buy the tails already tanned from a local leather guy for $20.00 a piece... they are smaller & really only big enough for one good holster out of each tail... but it's interesting to play with anyway...
as far as winter sports... also have yotes & red fox in that same drainage ditch... might have to start cross country sking around the property this winter with a rifle slung on the shoulder
