Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Moccassins?

Here are a couple of pics of my old hunting moccassins I took today.

Notice the Antelope blood on the toe of the right moccassin. I made these out of Elk hide I had tanned here locally by Hagels Tannery. Actually Hagles send out the hides that are to be tanned in a Gold color like this. They do the white looking psudo brain tan in their old shop that looks like it's been there a hundred years.

These are real comfortable for driving long distances to. There is only the one seam around the outside of the foot and with the full gusseted tounge there is no way for dirt or dust to get in. They are not waterproof, I guess you could silicone the leather or even snow seal them but that would screw up the nice buckskin look, and I don't know how effective it would be anyway.

I used these for a week of pig hunting in South Texas and never got a thorn in my foot, but like I said you tend to be more carefull, noticing where you place your foot when wearing these.
