MDC Offers Upcoming Free Deer Hide Class in DeKalb County

A harvested deer can yield more than venison and antlers.

The Missouri Department of Conservation is offering a class this December in DeKalb County on tanning deer hides.

The class will take place on Monday, December 12, at the Pony Express Lake Conservation Area from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

For making deer rawhide, hunters should scrape meat off hides, place them in a leakproof bag, and freeze them until time for the class.

Class participants will need to register ahead of time.
