    Not creepy at all to me.

    When I deployed I kept a lock of my wife's hair in a small envelope inside a plastic bag that held everything the army told me I had to carry at all times. ROE cards, shot records and such. I still have it.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    Not creepy to me either.

    Most people have their hair cut and throw it away. I think it is great to put it to some use, and as it is from his wife, it will really have some meaning.

    I am amazed that so many people who would like a dead animals head for a sporran find this weird.

    I say go for it, it will be really special.

    Yes, we definitely come at this from a different perspective then. Lots of things come to mind, but I think I'll leave it at that.
