Amidst a gentle Saturday snowfall, I decided to go shopping.

A new Cabela’s store just opened about a 30 min. drive away. I’ve been a mail order customer for some time. They have good and cheap fishing equipment.

The store was mobbed. Surprisingly, they had a decent fly fishing section. I picked up a few odds and ends, including a new net. My favorite purchase, though, is the item below.

It is euphemistically called a “hare’s mask”; it’s, um, the peeled-off-and-dried face of a rabbit. It provides great fur for making flies.

My children will be traumatized.
