I got it from an old guy up on the Olympic peninsula, and I will never
use it up so . . . .

I have several similar items .... a full Muskrat skin, a full Fox Squirrel
skin, several full Hare's masks .... I could go on ....

several times the amount I can possibly use

One of my most used flies is a Trusty Musky ... aka Muskrat and Partridge
..... I tie them 2 or three dozen at a time, several times a year ( I make no
effort to prolong their lives, often tossing rather than drying and
reusing ) .. At the current rate I use about 1.6372 sq inch of Muskrat /
year .... how many years will a whole skin last ??? G
