Deer knuckle/toe bones are a good shape to make them from, just make a hole in the center and keep working it until it's a hook. You can also make strait bone gorges, much less work than a hook and probably work nearly as well. Save the Cro-Magnons

Then bend 'em, bind 'em and dry 'em. Fresh is better than cooked. Lep "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch!" Lazarus Long AKA Robert A. Heinlein
