    Want to buy hides

    Looking for a couple of red deer and fallow capes for shoulder mounts, also a sika. Mature animals , inner eye lids and lips attached. skinned back to last rib if possible. Fresh or frozen. Can do a deal for taxidermy work if you can bring a bunch at once.

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    Has it been fleshed and turned before salting? I have re-soaked a few thats been like rock ,they mounted alright.
