Title: Need Hog Hides...
Post by: Mike on April 30, 2009, 08:40:06 pm
One of the ministries Hunter's Harvest supports needs some hog hides for some experimental tanning techniques. They have several deer hides and are looking for about 10 hog hides to try. They need to be skinned out, rug style, wrapped and frozen. If anyone in the greater Houston area doesn't mind saving one next time you skin a hog, let me know and i'll get it picked up. Thanks! 936-827-5035

Mike,

    I have some Red Deer and Fallow hides. Do you think they can use them for their tanning, or do they just want hog hides?

They have about 70 or 80 deer hides... just want to experiment with the hog hides.

Mike, since they are doing the traditional old BrainTanning are they asking for any heads also?

Circle C, My wife has been wanting a Fallow or Axis hide to have tanned for a rug. What do you want for 1-2 of them and can you ship them to Fla? We don't have any Fallow or Axis around us here.

Hey Mike,

They would like to try all different sizes to see if the hog hides will work.
