deer hide

Tanned cervid skin

Deer hide is the skin of a deer, especially after removal from the animal.

Deer hides have been used for centuries to make leather, clothing, and other goods.

The hide can be tanned into buckskin or left with fur attached: Native Americans traded deer hides with European settlers.

The term also appears as a verb phrase meaning to conceal a deer, typically from game wardens after illegal hunting.
