I was talking to an older guy who hits 15-25 schools a year talking about Outdoor Education. He has several pelts like coyote, skunk, deer etc, etc.
He told me about hides he bought online for this and that he was wanting a few others including a cougar. I don't know much but I thought I'd throw it out here that if someone had an older hide of something they wanted to donate, I could put you in touch with this guy?
I believe he does this on his own time and own dime...
