At least for the North-Central states probably to China (where it seems most commodities end up nowadays). I don't know if there's a market such as this for southern deer skins or not (I know an old buyer around here won't buy any any further south than Missouri because the hides were too thin and had too many tick bites). These buyers up northeast of the Twin Cities give a much nicer price than around here. The most I ever got for a nice hide was an Abe Lincoln, usually $3. I've home tanned some of the smaller deer skins we've gotten over the years but that gets old without a decent market. And living in town, de-hairing a deer hide is a mess...
