If you don’t find one this year reach out a little earlier next season and I’m sure you will have more than you can handle. When I was a kid we took them to a local tannery and they would give you a free pair of buckskin work gloves in exchange. Don’t know if that is still a thing over there but I do know a lot Are tossed out with the guts and trimmings |

I only became aware of the fact that a lot of people throw out hides very recently, unfortunately. |

Most are probably left in the field, including mine. I’ll keep the tail for proof of species in certain areas. If someone makes it easy to drop a hide or pick it up then I would pack it out. Otherwise it’s staying in the field. |
| The Gobble-stopper:
If you are just interested in tanning, start out with road kill. Deer, racoon,squirrel, skunk, etc. The smaller animals are easier to learn on and are usually quite available. That's how I started out when I was 14. |
| KNOPHISH:
For road kill, check out Washington state game salvage on Facebook and you could have one in a day. |
