This mule deer doe was harvested in southwestern New Mexico with a rifle. Tanned the old school way with brain matter and wood smoke. Smoked with cottonwood and cedar.

This is a nice medium/thin hide. Could be suitable for water drum heads but it’s on the thinner side. Ideal for fine crafting: beading, quill work, regalia, etc. Passes beading needle test all over.

8 square feet total material.

This younger mule deer buck was harvested in west Texas. We acquired the hide and tanned it out the old school way with brain matter and wood smoke. Smoked with cottonwood and cedar.

This is a medium/thick hide that would be suitable for cutting water drum rounds but ideal for fine crafting: bead work, quill work, regalia, etc. 

Very soft and fluffy, a size ten beading needle slides right through it.

This mature whitetail buck was harvested in west Texas. Tanned the old school way with brain matter and wood smoke. Smoked with cottonwood and cedar.

Very thick hide. Great hide for cutting thick water drum rounds. Thick but still soft enough for crafting — passes a size ten beading needle test easily. Really nice one.

10 square feet total material.

This young mule deer doe was harvested in west Texas. Tanned the old school way with brain matter — left un-smoked for the white coloration. 

The ears are fully intact, the full back legs are attached, unfortunately the front legs and the tail were cut off by the person who skinned her out last year.  There was a large hole near the left armpit that is sewn back together with beading thread.  These hides are generally a lot of work but since this one has so many imperfections I am asking $100 less than what I normally ask for this kind of hide.
