Does anyone know where I can get either fresh or, preferably tanned, snow shoe rabbit pelts? Any help would be appreciated

Snowshoe hare skins have limited value/use due to the fragility of the leather.I have tanned quite a few,but very hard to work up into a durable article.
They are nice for a table throw or something like that.They also continually shed hair.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Sorry. Goldberg closed several years ago. Irwin wanted to retire and none of his children wanted to take over the business.

Not sure but maybe try Moskow hide and fur

Also might post this on the wilderness form someone in Alaska/Canada might have or know someone that has a source

Years ago I seen a blanket made from snowshoe fur that had been cut into strips and then woven together was an interesting way to make it was also warm as h$&@
