Not so much of a fair, but they rent out a facility.17 women, I've seen the food pics of past but good lord I'll take the weekend with the pooches vs a weekend of women cackling and carrying on..

Ugh!  Where ya at?

At the risk of scaring away volunteers, what do you have to do with the hide you are working on and where do they go when you are done with them?

Steve-o We're in the Alexandria area. We pick up hides for Minnesota Deer Hunters Assc. All hides are sold to a company in Wisc. and out of the that money the state MDHA gets a small percentage and the remainer goes to the chapters that collect the hides. We (Alex Chapter) use the money for habitat projects like land accusations, conservation seed for food plots, apple trees, etc. Two years ago MDHA collected it's one millionth hide. I think all totaled over the years about five million dollars from hide collections has been put back into habitat projects around the entire state. As far as prepping the hides we have to pick them up, stretch them out flat and lay them on a pallet skin side up. We'll put about 1/2 to 3/4 of a pound of salt (Barry) on each of them and that's it. We only ask that you don't include heads, legs and or use plastic bags. Especially black ones. If its above 40 degrees or so and the hides are in a box or someone's garage for a couple of days they get an unforgettable smell......along with some critters that can be used for fishing bait. Hope that answers your questions.
