Elk hides are usually larger hides averaging 20 to 30 sq. ft., they come in a 4 to 5 oz. weight and are good for clothing, bags, lace and moccasins. The hides do have some stretch to them. The deer hides are averaging 8 to 12 sq. ft., they come in 3 1/2 oz weight. Great for making clothes, bags, lacing, fringe and much more. Very soft and supple and the elk and deer come in many colors.
