well you can sell squirrel tails to mepps and theyll send you either fishing lures or cash, your choice. Ive made a rifle case from a deer hide.fly tying. you could make a bag for carrying muzzleloader hunting essentials like spare sabot/roundballs, powder, wadding, etc. you can use the rabbit skins for predator hunting decoys, deer hide is good for longbow handle covers.you can also make knife sheaths, you can make a cool native american style painting on the hide side. Truthfully the possibilities are endless depending on what kinds of activities you participate in such as primitive archery

Look, if you run out of ideas you can send the deer hides to me! I got lots of stuff I can do with them! Are they "Hair on" hides? That would be even better! Lots of good ideas up here already... patterns for good things can be found at tandy.com for just about anything you would want to make.

Reply to What's worth the effort?Well obviously I wouldn't pack out a deer on my back without dressing it in hunter orange. I always carried an extra orange vest and a roll of orange...
