The best initial advice I can give you is to visit this site...

http://www.braintan.com/toc.html

There is a very good forum there and (for Canada) more easily accesible courses, resources, etc. Good luck with the hunting

Hobbitfeet what do you make from the hides? Sounds an interesting hobby.

In the past I have not been able to get hold of many deer-hides so have restricted myself to small bags, pouches, etc. Welsh Wizard is now able to provide me with a lot more, so I quite fancy making a traditional buckskin shirt. Like so many things, it's finding the time - work just gets in the way sometimes, I find.

I like my pigs trotters and tails doused in pickled onion vinegar, go on try it .
