Well a good shot will do that.i’m packing extra bags to ensure we can keep it this year.....we have always forgotten in the past or there wasn’t enough left to save
Oh I noticed the beards.i also considered your affinity for beards in tagging you!!
Very nice workSeeing someone skin a deer with a decent hide in tact is nice. We pick up throwaway processor hides and sadly most of the time they are totally (literally) butchered and they have giant cut marks in them, or soaked in blood and end up slipping hair, so you end up saving pieces instead of whole hides. Luckily, if someone tells the processor to save the hide for tanning, I've seen them do a great job though. Had one early last year that we tanned for someone that was nearly spot on perfect - little cleaning, only one tiny cut mark. And it was a partial piebald on top of that, so it was beautiful.
Not sure if I have shared any here but if anyone is interested, here's a few tanned hides. If nothing else I hope it motivates some people to get into tanning their harvested animals and putting the hide to good use:

The ones with slipped hair make nice summer moccasins.@Ursuline Chick - Thank you kindly! No expert by any means but I love it.
