The best deer hide is supposed to be black deer. Since hunting deer is illegal in India I suspect they get the hides from outside the country? One probably could get black deer hides out of Tibet. The taxidermist I got my deer hide from said there are some black deer in Texas. Deer hides really shed even when properly treated. I understand that is why antelope hides are frequently used instead. I also ordered online from a deer farm in Canada but the hides didn't have the proper treatment and really shed too easy.
