Probably unrealistic
Ok well I havent been deer hunting before but my friend is taking me when he goes iwth his uncle. Anyways me and my friend had an idea to make deerskin boots out of the skin from the deer we kill. I know you have to like take it to a taxidermist and such but is it just some fantasy that could never happen to make boots out of the skin. Ive made moccasins before and i know how to make boots.

Why pay someone to tan your hide when you can get a tanning kit here ? You can also find just about anything you need to work leather here . Sometimes fantasies can come true . I've been buying my leather carving supplies from this company for years .

No , I'm telling you that skin and hide are the same thing , just two different names . Skin = hide . Cowhide is generally thicker than deer hide , but the thickness of hides also varies from animal to animal and the location on the animal . Clearer now ?
