This mature mule deer buck was harvested in west Texas. Tanned the old school way with brain matter and wood smoke. Smoked with Cottonwood. This is about as thick as a deer hide can get. Passes the beading needle test. Very thick and heavy hide suitable for fine crafting. Water drum rounds could be cut from this hide, however, there are some weak spots from the knife marks left by the hunter while skinning the deer.
