Hunters: We need your pelts. Once deer seasons starts, the Pekin Elks Lodge will be once again collecting deer hides. These hides will be salted and sent to a tannery. Once tanned, the pelts will be made into leather kits and gloves. The gloves are used for wheel chair bound veterans, they even come in a finger-less variety for those who prefer it that way.
The pelts may be dropped off at the lodge, back by the garage door. Thanks for your help!
SUCCESS! We collected around 175 deer pelts this year.
