I have to say I am not big on maggots, as with most girls, I find them to be pretty disgusting, however I do pick up roadkill, and utilize the parts the best way I know how. I have a gorgeous medicine bag I made out of a flying squirrel, I did the skinning myself, even got the face whiskers and all in tact. Pulled quills out of a porcupine this past spring. My daughter found a beaver skull in the woods near a bog but only brought me a tooth, I made her go back up to the bog and get me the skull, the teeth make great beads. So now I have a beautiful talisman of the large front tooth of a beaver, some turquoise, and a flying squirrel foot. The feet make nice earrings and pendants.
Anyone have any extra skins, feathers, or other random parts, bear claws, deer toes, coyote teeth etc, I am more than happy to take them off your hands, even happier to make you a nice piece of jewelry if you wish! Sorry didn't mean to turn this into a plug for myself, but I find the topic and concept very interesting.
