Anyone here raise Naugas ?? For Naugahide

brin · Sep 16, 2012

I came across this and just wondered....wondered where to find a breeding pair and I suppose you would need several pairs in different colors...With this nostalgia thing...Naugahide will probably make a comeback...Take a look at this..:cool2:

actually naugahide comes from the legs of flys, that is why i shoot them in the eye instead of ruining perfectly good naugshide.

Some does but not enough...so that is why I only shoot off one of each fly's leg...instead of ruining what little hide is there....You are right...good point...but we still need the breeding pairs of Naugas...right ?

My dad used to call it nahogahyde, so I always thought it came from the part of the hog nobody used. Hey...anyone up for a snipe hunt?

That's good to know. Here I've been mashing them with the flyswatter and missing out on a little additional income. From now on, I'll be a little more careful not to waste a commodity

I quit raising Naugas when the market dried up and started raising neets for neets foot oil. It has been a slow go as they only grow one "foot" a year. . . . . .

They come in so many nice colors too!

Brin,
No Naugas here. Just way too much trouble to raise. They are always slipping out through the fence, and the high humidity here makes them mildew.

Not yet. Season is not open here. The following is taken from the Louisiana hunting regulations: Migratory and Waterfowl | Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries

"Snipe season will open in the West Zone with the first segment from Nov. 3 to Dec. 10, and the second segment from Dec. 22 to Feb. 28. In the East Zone and Coastal Zones, the first segment will run from Nov. 3 to Dec. 3, with a second segment running Dec. 15 to Feb. 28. The daily bag limit is 8 and the possession limit is 16."
