OK, I need to buy my wife something she's wanted a looooong time! Can anyone point me in the right direction soon? Anniversary, not me screwing up going snow goose hunting for a week instead of two days.

Can you be more specific? Tanned? Green? What does she want it for?

Either tanned or green, as long as it's fleshed, salted and dried properly. Money is secondary to quality. AND, it's going to go on her new Bison leather Settee' (I just call it a big sofa) and get corrected

Do you or your wife use Facebook? If you do, look for Nome post on FB. You can advertise there, looking for a hide. Pretty sure this will be a costly goal. Might be some hides already dried. Some of the hides have the underfur pulled out for knitting. Hopefully you can find someone who will work with you.
