Antler handle squirrel pokers conjure up countless squirrel hawking memories for us. These are still the handles we prefer for field use due to their durability. An antler handle squirrel poker will hold up to years of consistent use from the hardcore squirrel hawker. This particular piece features a long grip for wide hands. The placement of the finger rests and the curvature of the antler fit the right hand best.
 
About Our Squirrel Pokers
 
All squirrels are not created equal. Our squirrel pokers are the result of years of hawking eastern fox squirrels in the heart of Appalachia-- a design born of necessity with the prey in mind as equally as the predator. Used properly, our squirrel pokers minimize bite risk and dispatch quarry humanely. 
 
We've worked with Tim Woody at Deeply Rooted Treeworks to bring you our field-tested design. It's a true blend of form and function. Each handle Tim creates is unique. He utilizes a variety of materials and processes. The shafts are ground from railroad spikes. They're pointed at the tip and gradually increase in size, making them easy to puncture tough squirrel skin and wide enough to hit internal organs on the first try. The sides of the shafts are not sharp, so your bird won't hurt herself if she grabs them. 
 
We're proud of what these pokers have become. Whether you're putting this piece on a shelf or using it in the field, we know you'll appreciate the blend of intentional design and art.
 
About Our Optional Kydex Holsters
 
We also offer custom kydex holsters. They can be clipped to your hawking vest or belt. We've lost a few squirrel pokers over the years. It's gut wrenching when they're special. Our kydex holsters keep your poker locked in and secure.
 
They utilize a Blade Tech Tek-Lok clip. We love the extra lock once you've snapped the clip into place. The kydex itself is custom molded to fit your poker. Our pokers are specifically designed with a square ledge near the handle so they click into the holster.
 
Please be aware this holster has a lead time of 7 business days. It's custom molded to fit your squirrel poker.
