Large Tanned Whole Bison Hide

Is that of a 34 year old bull we harvested on November 9, 2020. The herd from which he was harvested roams free on thousands upon thousands of acres in northeast Montana, and the herd is composed of transplants and descendants from Yellowstone National Park. Measures approximately 96" wide by 92" long, not including the tail (about 8' x 8'). Natives and pioneers alike had dozens of uses for these.

S, from clothing and bedding to shelter and everyday use items. Whether you intend to keep it whole for display or warmth, or further refine and craft it, this. Will make a stunning and luxurious addition to your home.

As color variance goes among buffalo, this. Is on the darker end of the spectrum (my camera might have stepped into'night vision' mode this evening, and the pics show a little brighter than what I perceive in person). It begins as a medium beige color at the hump, fading quickly to shades of brown and espresso at its edges. The animal had not yet filled in his winter coat yet, and the hair is evenly short and bristly throughout.

Compared to other hides we've had done, this one is a notch above the rest for a couple reasons. Oteworthy aspects of this hide is the lack of holes that are normally present. It's very common to have several nicks and cuts scattered about from harvesting and skinning, but this hide only has two holes from the bullet entry/exit on the neck and two other smaller knife holes low on the front left leg; the rest of it is remarkably intact.

Also worth mention is the overall heft of it--the. Tanner kept the hide very thick, and although I don't know the exact thickness, this is by far one of the heaviest bison hides I've ever held in my arms. As heavy as it is, it would probably serve very durably as a rug, or it could be crafted into some long lasting clothing items.
