       Paul,
    
               I dont know where you are from but in N.H you can
    sell the hide or exchange the hide for a pair of deerskin gloves,
    this isnt everyone that does it there is a guy in barnstead N.H.
    that exchanges them.
    
                               with deer skin mittens my hands wont freeze.

|  |     In some places, the Boy Scouts put out collection cans for hides
    during deer season.  I guess that they sell them to raise funds
    for other activities.  Might give 'em a try.

|  |     re - .2   Boy Scouts collect the hides....
    
      Yeah, but I'm sure they don't want the head, hoofs, ect...
    What do you do with those???

Bury them in your garden?
Put them in a plastic bag and dispose of like ordinary garbage?  Are 
you wanting to know how they can be used or just how to dispose of 
them?

| 556.5 | Don't want to use them, just get rid of.. | BTOVT::MORONG |  | Mon Nov 20 1989 14:15 | 6 |

      It was more hypothetical. I was just saying that I'm sure they
    don't want the head/hoofs. I do always bury mine, usually in the 
    woods.

|  |     Sometimes your local taxidermist will take your deer remains. They
    use them to fix up damaged mounts. Maybe they will also give you
    a break the next time you want something mounted yourself.
    
    As for the intrails...feed the other critters in the woods. Take
    a little give a little.

| 556.7 | Dumpsters work great. | DECWET::HELSEL | Legitimate sporting purpose | Mon Nov 20 1989 15:34 | 13 |

    In my case, I hunted this year with two ex-deccies that now work
    at the second biggest software corporation (down the road a mile).
    While I was finishing up the wrapping process on our two bucks,
    they put the bones, heads etc into my truck and instructed me
    to put them in the dumpsters in the DECwest parking lot.  That
    seemed pretty effective for us.
    
    You're not reading this, are you, Steve?  If you are, Lon said to tell
    you it was okay ;-)

          You can hang some of the bones in trees. The birds love to pick
    on the fat and meat left on the bones. They will pick through the hide.
    Make sure you hang these where they aren't obvious. This can really
    upset some people. I like the idea of feeding the birds and not wasting 
    anything. I have known some people to hang the head in the tree. I'm 
    sure a taxidermist will take the hide. As someone mentioned sometimes
    you can trade the hide in for deerskin gloves. When everything is
    picked clean you can bury the rest.
