AirNgasman, I want to see the picture of the frog pellet pouch. Sounds like the other one is nice looking too but that’s probably for you to admire. I make a pretty good looking tooled pellet pouch too . AOA sells my soft side oil tanned pouch. I’m thinking about using the spine of the iguana at the bottom of the pouch to look like fringe. I’ll just have to wait until I get the hide back to see what I have to work with. They are very thin but very tough. If they work out I have a plan. Below
One of the land owners that asked us to remove some iguanas has a 12 year old son and we asked him if he wanted to shoot one. Of course he said yes. He had never used a long gun with a scope but after a few shots he got the hang of it and shot the iguana. He was grinning from ear to ear. I’m going to give him my first airgun, a Beeman R10 Springer with a Beeman scope. It’s a .177 but he will get the hang of it. When he gets a big one I will ask him to skin it and send to me. Once I get a few I will send them off to be tanned. One off iguana pellet pouches!

Funshine, I can tell by your post that you are a iguana shooter. If you don’t hit them just behind the eye you will NOT knock them down. We don’t count them if you don’t knock them out of the tree. When I went to PR in February, I took my FX500 .25 cal that I shoot 25 gr but this time I took my regulated 500 shooting 34 gr. The heavier grain does hit harder and does a better job. To your point, one shot one kill is very difficult but we were able to get quite a few that way. I just love it when a sparrow or starling is hiding behind something and it ducks low to look at you, then you thread that pellet through the tiny opening and nail the starling. That makes great practice for hitting an iguana in the right place. Thanks for your comments.

MarkT, Puertorico is a professor at the University there but he is an avid airgun shooter. He has lived there about 30 years and speaks the language like a native. He works most of the time and can only take us hunting during school breaks. He’s a prince of a guy and a good friend. I call him Dr. Andy.

Matk T...no outfitter. Just love airgun hunting with a couple guys when they come down. Hopefully I'll be going to longbrownbox house soon for some hunting.
