Just curious. I send out all my hides whether they are small does, big does and bucks not worthy of a wall mount and get a really nice tanned hide back in a couple of months for under $35.
Got a great stack of them now but wonder if anyone else keeps hides as trophies. Might even have them turned into sumpin at some point. A bud had a nice jacket made as well as some nice gloves. They will also make something the little woman might like.
