During Fishcamp leisure

Finished tanning the Arctic Ground Squirrels – all were completed during fishcamp leisure while waiting for salmon fishing to be opened – which has been regulated :-(.   I will post the timeline of the tanning process as my busy summer allows.  Here is a sneak peak of them squirrels.  Quyana, Piurci 🌸IMG_5995
