This is a pair of simple cowhide shot pouches. One is a square shape, the other heart shaped. Each was inspired by bags from Madison Grant's "The Kentucky Rifle Hunting Pouch". Both were aged significantly and have straps adjusted by an antique bone button. The square pouch is being offered as a raffle prize at the 18th Annual Shandaken Primitive Biathlon http://www.shandakenprimitivebiathlon.net/.

Large Beavertail Flap Pouch
This pouch was inspired by one in the book "The Kentucky Rifle Hunting Pouch" by Madison Grant. The original shown in the book is listed as found in the valley of Virginia and dating 1835-40. This is made from 3/4 oz vegetable tan cowhide, and has a strap made by weaver Kris Pollizzi, and has a homespun-style fabric lining the underside of the flap. The main body of the pouch measures about 7.5" wide by 8.5" tall.
