BATES COUNTY, MO – The Bates County Elks #2653 is asking hunters to turn in their deer hides that will be used to make gloves and leather kits for veterans. They are accepting hides now through the end of deer season which is Tuesday, November 25th.
Hides arrive in various conditions including salted, unsalted, frozen, dry, dirty and in a variety of containers such as boxes or plastic bags. If hides have already begun to spoil, they cannot be used. Good hides need to be immediately thawed, spread, cleaned and salted.
If you would like to donate your hide this year, take it to the red stock trailer in the parking lot of the Bates County Elks Lodge on Elks Drive.
After you leave your hide then call Travis Gillis at 660-200-5220 and he will come and take care of the hide.
Thanks in advance for every hide donated which will be used to help veterans with leather gloves and leather kits.
