Whats in the bag?

A peek into my hunting pouch...

#81-Groundhog bag with antique horn

I made this hunting pouch from a local garden thief that I case-skinned and alum-tanned at home.  There is a heart-shaped repair on the front where I got a little overzealous scraping the belly part of the hide.  The horn is an antique, and Jim Webb may have made the stopper (he couldn't recall upon seeing it, but thought he very well may have).  The cane measure was made by Art Riser.  There is also a brass wire vent pick and an antique table knife with a bark-tanned sheath.
