Title: whitetail hides
Post by: Micanopy on December 15, 2009, 01:02:53 AM
Should be getting in a fair amount of whitetail hides in a couple weeks. Anyone want some of them let me know. They will be salted, fleshed and dried.

PM's sent out, these should be good hides, very few holes in them as the shooters are top notch. This batch my not be head shots due to wildlife bio guys need the brains and brain stems for CWD test so the will be neck shots mostly, the skinner is the bomb so shouldnt be any holes in the bodies. I'll send out only the best ones. and let you knows when they come in.

They is here! Will be salting and fleshing no less than 15 of them over the weekend and they should be dry enough to start shipping by next friday. Let me know how many you need and I will set them aside.

I could use 5 hides. I may have a couple shipping addresses. My dad in Kalifornia has said he wants some I will get a hold of him. How much are you wanting for them? Cant seem to find original e-mail.
Thanks
Chuckwagon.

Gettin $5.00 each in U.S. Currency plus shipping. They will be fleshed, salted, and with any luck at all dried by the end of next week. Been a bit damp here lately, thank God!

Got 8 fleshed out today. They should be drying out ok over the next couple days and I'll let everyone that has pm'd me to order them know what the shipping will cost as soon as I get the boxed and weighed at the post. Remember, these are rough fleshed meaning that all the heavy chunks of fat and flesh are gone. You may still want to membrane them when you soak them back. There are not any big giant holes in them, a couple nicks here and there but easily fixed with beading thread and a #13 beading needle.
