I suspect this is the only way my girlfriend would ever let me get away with wearing a full mask, or even any fur, sporran.

Any suggestions on how to go about getting my hands on a flattened raccoon/beaver/fox/skunk/possum/coyote/etc. other than "shovel & gloves"?

Does anyone know of a place that searches them out for sporrans as opposed to trapping or farming sources? Tyger, if you happen to see this, got anything "fresh off the pavement"? ...I did read your thread, BTW.

Anyone else done this?

Any help would be appreciated. I suspect in the end I'm looking more for someone who makes sporrans and occasionally comes across a good raven flapjack and would be willing to turn it in to a sporran for me, as I can imagine my neighbors' reactions if I collected a carcass myself...

"What's that horrible stinky thing on your porch?"
"I'm pickling a fox I found on Route 93."
"You're WHAT?"

Yeah...

Thanks,
Sean
