Post by: tim roberts on June 09, 2009, 10:31:00 PM
Can someone tell me where I Can get some Seal Skin for a shelf rest?  I looked on Alaska Bowhunter Supply's site but couldn't find it.
Thanks,

Good luck, the last time I tried to order it from 3 Rivers, they had discontinued it, shelf material, and tab.
If I locate any more, I will let you know, and would like you to do the same please.

You can buy it in coats and hats on the auction site for cheap if you're patient.

We can buy it up here in Canada by the full tanned pelt but unfortunately cannot ship it to the states...sorry guys...we still have an annual seal hunt off of Newfoundland but with all the storm & furor going on about that from the peta groups who knows how long that will last!!

I found some at a Cabela's retail store here in Maine.  It was on closeout.  If you have on close enough to drive to they might have some.  At least worth a call.

there are treaties that affect the harvest, mfg of products and resale. Something in the native pipeline croaked and it's just not commercially available.

Guys are finding garments on auctions and selling it or sharing it.

If we only knew...  :(
