Try the flogger out on yourself. That is what I do anyways on my thigh normally.
If I feel I cant use some toy on myself then I sure cant do it on my girl.

Hardware shops are the greatest lol but since you are a hunter then I am sure you know how to prepare hides and all that to make your own flogger. I sure would think that it would be very cool to have made something like that myself but I am no hunter and I got no clue how to prepare leather.
I am sure everything needed to know is availiable with a Google search though
