we get a lot of deer up here- we are allowd 15 per year- over a 9 month season.
they are a smaller sitka blacktail, anyway my point is, i just hate throwing away perfectly good hides, i feel like i am being disrespectful.
i have mare rawhide than i could ever use.
so if anybody wants rawhide, i will de-hair , stretch and dry them. the skins are quite clean, as i punch out my hides when skinning, the way i prep them is to sand the flesh side with coarse sandpaper when they are dry- takes any membranes off, and gets a good glue surface.
when they are dry, if you pay shipping, i will send them to you. being smaller deer, the hides are nice and thin- perfect backing material.
I will take them, if no one has spoken for them.
It's very nice to offer them sir.
Thanks Tony

Wayne I'd be interested in enough to do 2 or 3 bows. How much $ do you need for that?
Dang it Tony! You beat me to it!
When ya coming down to see me?
Just sent ya a PM
I'd take some if you have any left. I could use it for some selfbows I have planned. Thanks
great guys, i have three fresh ones here from the other day, i will process them up, and get shipping weights when they are dry- all i would want is for the postage to be covered.
i can get lotsa hides- and i dont mind doing them up for bow makin' fools. :jumper:
will keep you guys posted, and work out the details as they are ready to ship.
regards
Thanks Wayne, send me 100.
Sure bud :D
like ah said- "bow makin' fools!!!" :bigsmyl:
watcha gonna do - make a nice little beaded drum to go with that buckskin dress o' yours!!??!!
I'd take some off your hands... Let me know how much money you need!! thank you for your gesture
OH Wayne, I never thought I'd haf ta add your name to the thumpin list... :laughing: :nono:
i will gather up some more skins tomorrow, chat to a few friends of mine.
so they might become available in fits and starts- just be patient, and i will get as many done as possible.
regards
wayne
nope Roy, please don' be doing that- i,m really a good guy!!! :notworthy:
Mr. Fujimo,
Hello, what a kind offer, thanks from all of us here.
If you have any rawhide left to spare, as I relize I am pretty low on the list, I would like some as well. Like Osagetree, I just would like enough to do a few bows.
If you have any to spare please let me know, if not, feel free to say so, I understand.
Thanks either way,
Kevin
LOL on honest question. I guess your OK. :jumper:
no problem guys, i got a far greater response than i expected. this makes me really happy- as a lot of skins are wasted here. so i will keep processing them( i do like doing it- just cant use all that i process)and contacting you good folk as they become available, and sending them out. i will follow the list down- but there will be lots of skins
thanks
Don't make it a priority But if you find the you need to get rid of some more shoot me a pm and I would love some :goldtooth:
Same hear fujimo. If you have some extra, let me know.
Please put me on the list. I am building a bow now that I would like to back. Thank you
Fujimo, I would be interested in one hide. Just let me know about the shipping costs by PM. Thanks for having such generosity and respect for the game and sport! And thanks to BC letting you guys have such limits!
Hope to hear from you when things get dried out.
Joe
Please add me to the list
Thank you
Bill
I'm thinking this is going to be a bit much for Wayne. Poor guy isn't going to have any time to make bows for himself.
hi guys- well ol' Roy beat me to it. there is hides a -plenty up north here, and i will start sending hides out to folks in the order that they responded, i have 3 hides in the lye right now, and one already done in the freezer, and figured if i split them down the back, a half hide would certinally do a few bows, and as i keep getting hides in, and doing them- doesnt take me long, i will keep sending out, and can send out to people who need more than just 1/2 a hide.
so i am gonna put the brakes on for now, until i get caught up with all the above folks already, then i will repost the thread.
i am really excited by the response, as i literally feel sick to the stomach every time i throw away a hide- just not the way we were raised in africa!!
hey if there are any left id like some as well for a few bows thanks and just let me know about the shipping.Joe
