Thread: Deer, Fox skins? Sorry to ask!

    Default Deer, Fox skins? Sorry to ask!

    I was just wodering if anyone knew how I could go about getting some deer and fox skins? I've asked my local pest control guy and he said hes happy to provide me with skins but unfortunatly we have had no luck as of yet. I have had no luck finding anyone else in my area either.
    I tan skins myself and would like to try something larger than rabbits and squirrels. Maybe theres a few on here who may be willing to sell or post?..If your close we can collect and maybe skin also.

    Thanks

    My mate has his own pheasant shoot, so regularly takes out foxes. Depends where you are in Dorset though.

    Im In Beaminster , 20 mins from Chard and about 15 mins from Bridport - but if distance isn't to far we can travel if time is suitable - would he be interested in passing them on?

    Go biking alongside highways to check for roadkills? Probably won't work as 'Luck goes with the stupid' as we say here.
    I'm always immoderately annoyed when windmills don't turn simultaniously.

    I may be able to help - but I don't bother with the deer. The hairs are hollow and brittle and get everywhere.
