Augie, what a nice find, sir. Congratulations! Do with it as you want. If you choose to hunt it, do so with pride and your heirs will appreciate it and its value far beyond your time.
I have a "few" I want to leave to my family and friends, but I never worry about the value after I'm gone.
I like that sling, too .. even if it's been chewed up by a little tree bark..
