Here is a link to buffalo ranches in Illnois. There used to be ranches in the Georgetown and Farmer City areas also, but they are not on the list, so may no longer be in operation.

eatbisonmeat.com

NO LINKS...... please  ;D

If I tanned the buff with the hair on it might provide enough padding to save my leg.  :o

Moscow Hide and Fur is where I get mine...   Do not use Elk if you plan on wearing your Mocs outside... They WILL stretch out... Believe me

One I forgot, google Trapline Lodges, I am picking up a half buffalo rawhide in 2 weeks from him,

he makes great looking tipis and a lot of brain tanned hides. Good prices for hand done stuff.

Most of my stuff has come from him and Moscow Hide and Leather.
