Have had two tanned, hair-on, over the years--mostly for photographic backgrounds: A lot of rifles look really good on 'em!

The first was the hide from my wife's first elk, a spike. Eventually it started spraying loose hair every time I picked it up. Had a Colorado raghon hide tanned maybe 15 years ago to replace it, which has held up OK so far.
