Vermin? You mean venison...!

Deer aren't "protected" in N. America, but they are "controlled" species, i.e., they can only be harvested during set seasons. However, there are no restrictions on the "by products" that I'm aware of, such as hides, antlers, etc. Too bad we don't see more N. American deerhide, elkhide, and moosehide sporrans available....
