I am a newbie trapper, and I am SO stoked to get my first raccoon or coyote so that I can make a “mountain man” style fur hat.  But, if I don’t want to pay somebody to do it, how would I go about doing that myself?

Well, thank goodness for the internet, because I found a video that shows and explains how to make one out of a tanned raccoon hide.  Nice!

Send us pics of your “mountain man” style fur hats!  We would love to see them!
