    What do you do with your hide?

    How many of you guys keep your hide for tanning?

    Once tanned, what do you do with it? Do you keep the hair on or turn it to leather?

    I kept my hide and will be having it tanned. It should be like 8 months before I get it back... So plenty of time to think of ideas. Right now I was thinking I should keep the hair on it and turn it into a rifle case. What do you guys do with a tanned hide?

    I started tanning my hides with the hair on couple years ago. I'd like to eventually have them stitched together as a throw for the couch or some kind of bed spread. I've seen pillows that turned out really well using hair on axis hide.

      I tan them myself or just remove the hair and make rawhide.

        I self tan mine. Either hair on or off depending what I what it for. Have rugs, arrow quiver, as well as moccasins.

                This. Can't imagine what I'd do with 5 deer hides, countless pig hides and the occasional exotic hides each year.
                Although I guess I could become like Laramie (Sasquatch) and make my own clothes.

                      As a kid we could trade hides to a taxidermy guy for leather gloves and mittens, but that was in South Dakota

                        Mine go out with the guts unless it’s a good buck. To many deer hunters in the family can’t afford to tan all them hides.

                          It's either going on a mount or in the trash

                            Mine go in the gut pile but I would like to learn to tan the hides. Lots of stuff they could be used for.

                              If I manage to get it off a deer without cutting any holes in it I give it to my taxidermist.
