Wild Game Leather
Buckskin Leather Company offers a wide range of wild game hides and furs sourced from North American wildlife including deer, elk, moose, buffalo, and fur-bearing animals such as beaver and fox. These hides vary in size and grade, with select grades having minimal imperfections and utility grades showing more natural markings. Ideal for traditional crafts like moccasins, mukluks, drums, regalia, and native garments, our wild game leather brings authentic texture and character straight from the land to your projects.
Deer Hides
Lightweight (2–3 oz) and buttery soft, these hides average 8–12 sq ft. Contact us to check current availability. These full-grain deerskins are smooth, flexible, and easy to sew by hand or machine. Natural marks like scars or small holes are part of what makes each hide unique. Ideal for moccasins, regalia, linings, and other soft leather projects. We also stock a commercial brain-tan simulated hide, which offers a great alternative in both look and feel.
Elk Hides
These full-grain elk hides are thick, strong, and easy to work with. Ideal for moccasins, linings, and traditional crafts where durability and suppleness matter. Expect natural markings like scratches or small holes, each hide is one of a kind. Heavier than deerskin but still flexible, elk offers a great balance of strength and softness, and is easy to sew by hand or machine.
Moose Hides
Our moose hides range from 15–35 sq. ft., depending on whether they’re full or half hides. They average 4 oz in weight and are stocked in natural gold. We carry both full-grain moose and split suede moose—the suede being the second layer, soft with a deep gold tone. Both are ideal for moccasins, mukluks, and traditional Native clothing.
Fur & Trim
We offer a diverse selection of pelts, including buffalo and rabbit, as well as wild game furs like fox, coyote, wolf, muskrat, weasel, and beaver. Prices vary based on grade and size. Most pelts are intended for trim purposes rather than taxidermy or mounting and may show some fur damage. These are offered as salvage items at a range of price points.
All wild game furs in this collection are regulated by Fish and Wildlife as part of predator control and overpopulation management. Buckskin Leather Co. does not participate in or support fur farming, our furs are sourced through sustainable and responsible channels.
Game Hide Tanning Information:
Due to increasing environmental regulations, many game hide tanneries in North America have closed, making it difficult for hunters to have hides tanned. As a result, most game hides now go to waste, leading to a shortage of raw material, especially since game hides are naturally seasonal. Please contact our warehouse directly for current availability and pricing.
Note: Our wild game skins and furs are available for shipment within Canada only. Unfortunately, we cannot ship wild game skins and furs to the U.S.A. due to U.S. Fish & Wildlife regulations.
