Well, I just got jolted back to reality.  W.B. Place in Hartford, WI used to be THE place to get deer, elk and similar hides tanned.  They had an awesome line of clothing made from these hunted hides.  Well, Tasman bought them out and closed the tanning to hunters.  They make clothing and purses now.   Check out Tasman, their listing had loads of deer hides.  I had friends in Hartford and every visit over there found me with new deerhide gloves, usually five pair.  Friend died and now the tannery is gone.....  :(       https://www.tasmanusa.com/deerskin-leather-gallery

I had gotten some at maverick leather . Just a matter of if they have them on hand.  2 to 4 ounce  I believe for thickness.  I had the same questions about chrome tan.  Good thread with lots of info below.
