Title: Animal hides
Post by: Wildspirit89 on September 23, 2018, 06:00:55 PM: I do not know if this is the correct spot to post this, if I am wrong feel free to correct me.
My name is Andrew and I have been leather crafting for two years now, and now learning to tan hides. I am thinking of turning my hobby into maybe a part time income.
I have ran into hunters who just leave their hides in the woods. If you guys want to work something out, I would love to take your hides. Feel free to message me, let us see if we can come to an arrangement. :)

Post by: Wildspirit89 on September 30, 2018, 03:06:08 PM: No I am interested, I just got done packing for Tri cities, I will be spending some time there for EMT. As for pricing, I am not sure. I have only had a few practices with hides brought by family friends and some Army buddies. Let me get back to you on pricing this coming Friday. As for your reply Jenna, I will be in the Tri Cities all month for EMT with AMR. Let me know what time works for you.
