Hello there,

I was wondering if there are any hunters in the SD area who don't want their deer hides. I'm looking to start a primitive skills course in a few months and tanning a buck-skin for making your own clothing items is required. If you have a hide that you might throw/give away anyway, please shoot me an email and I'd be happy to take it off your hands! I'd also be more than willing to skin it for you if that's convenient. Thanks!

hmm, shipping a hide would be difficult if you plan on doing the whole process yourself (as they have to be very fresh to start the fleshing process) sometimes hunters take their kill into a butcher or meat processor, you should contact one in your local area. they may be willing to part with the hides because tanning on a large scale is a costly process and most butchers i know dont do it, they just throw them out.

haha although i think you may be hard pressed to find a deer processor in san diego
umm, try doing a search in rural outlying areas
