Dried peas and bone but I have no idea what the bone is from. Whatever it is, it's beautiful.

We use the Oosik from Brown/Grizzly Bears and Black Bears for stirrer in mixed drinks.

They call it a "stiff drink"

See? That right there is why I wouldn't know what it is. Boner bones, indeed.

**welderguy** · 02-17-2010, 08:53 PM

Thats some nice looking bead and bone(er) work I like it.

**hunter63** · 02-18-2010, 12:10 PM

I believe the beads are hand made fired clay, at least looks like it.
Single coon whistles were selling for like $30 bucks, each.

I picked this up from a guy that needed gas money to get home from rendezvouses, he had a string of bad luck. Swapped a tank of gas for it.

I had offered to sell it back to him when he got home and recouped. ( tend to do this a lot, sorta primitive pawn guy).
Never heard from him again...............?

Have held on to it and worn it to formal doin's at rendezvouses for a long time.
Didn't take long for y'all to figure it out, LOL, you guys KNOW Dick.

**Rick** · 02-18-2010, 02:16 PM

Precisely, you're catching on to hunter speak, LOL
Actually they are called "coon whistles", at least at rendezvous, but if you do a search doesn't come up.

You don't suppose that maybe the interweb doesn't know everything?

Once upon a time, Army Parachute Riggers had an honorary, informal association - The Penus Ringtailus Society of which I may have been a member (no pun intended). It had something to do with size and buying drinks.

The type of bones are explained in posts following the original post. Hey - while explanations are going around, how about dropping by the Introduction section when you get us a chance and tell us a bit about yourself. Thanks. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14
