Very few hunters in PA keep their hides unless they want to make something with them. Even the Pennsylvania Game Commission who use to keep all hides from illegals and road kills no longer keep them for years now. When Europe, namely Italy was buying them at a decent price, it was worthwhile, that is no longer the case. Last I heard is they are selling for about two dollars which makes it not cost effective to salt and stack them till spring when the buyers used to come around. Some butcher shops will knock off about 2 bucks from your fee if you leave the hide with them. However, unless they get a lot of hides, it isn't worth their while either.
