Title: Is it Legal?
Post by: one more on December 14, 2010, 08:09:39 PM: Is it legal for me to trade a legally trapped, commercially tanned fur hide ( beaver or racoon), for the raw hide of a legally hunted/killed deer?
It looks like I may not get one during archery season.

Keep watching for Weathergirl's post after next Wednesday. She will hopefully be getting one or two before the season is over. We have enough tanned hides and have just been trading them in for a pair of gloves.
