Not to mention that very few hunters will have any green hides right now. I sure as heck don't know anyone that tries to salvage the hides or keeps them after the season. Unless a hunter has a reason for bringing the hide home all the guys I know leave them for the coyotes to chew on. But then I mostly hunt in areas where I'm not bringing whole deer/elk out of the woods. I skin and bone them on the spot where legal (not legal in TX by the way, here I skin, qtr and put them on ice) and just bring out meat.
