Shot my first deer with my longbow, and would like to have the hide tanned and make a quiver out of it. Ive never had a hide tanned, but wonder if a deer hide is "thick" enough to use for that purpose? Anybody ever done it, pics? If its too thin, what other things can be made from the hide?
thanks,
Ken

Yes deer hide works pretty good for a quiver here is one I made about a year ago. I also made an arm guard out of it.

Hey nice toes man! haha lol I always love photos like that- good looking quiver!

SHELL made this one for me a couple of years ago.    

Made this from my first trad deer last year. Basically just streatched the hide on a sheet of plywood, removed all meat and membrane and salted it down.

Once it was dried I made the quiver out of it. Stiched it together with rawhide boot laces.

Got the strap (leather belt) from goodwill store.  

Deer hide Quivers are great for 3D shoots....But I would never wear one in the woods,especialy during Gun season....

lol yeah I didn't realize that until the second pic so I stepped back a little    

I saw a piebal doe last week and got a trail cam picture of her. now that I see that quiver I wish I could get a shot at her. that would make a nice quiver. OH by the way nice Quiver
