What other things do make with a deer
BowEd:
Good thread John.Pretty much all of the above I've used.Did'nt see parafleches or boxes out of rawhide[storage containers].Heard of but never did it that a bow can be sealed in deer intestine too.Lots of uses for about everything.

Yes it is a fascinating thread, I'll agree. I have been shearing the hair off my deerskins and the hair is REALLY a pain if not impossible to till under but boy did it improve my soil when I used the hair in that way. I had the tallest sunflowers around and the tomatoes were especially crazy!I think since I washed the hair, then sheared it I could have used it for something other than fertilizer, just haven't done it. It might make good stuffing for something. I tried putting it on the floor of our horses stalls .. (cement floor for a little padding and warmth but they wanted to eat it.. so I quickly removed it.
JW_Halverson:
How about stuffing that deer hair in a tightly woven burlap bag and using it for an archery target?

Well every time I scrape a hide deer will come out and check it out soooo... Scott and I thought it would make a lure.
