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.

Love it! At least you did not hydrate the mask, put it on your hand and pretend it was the Easter Bunny!
