On this deer if it's taken in the next few days. I think it would make a nice hair on tanned hide, but only if the hair won't slip out since it's in transition from summer to winter coat.  |

No it won't slip(if properly cared for), it will be just like it was the day you kill it. Slippage is caused by bacteria. So when you kill it, get it skinned and to a tannery asap and properly cared for. It will be best to take this to a taxidermist who can do it correctly. Otherwise, read up on salting and fleshing at taxinet.com

Would you really shoot that little skipper?

Unfortunately it's a moot point now. The trail cam pics show only one or 2 spots showing now.
Would I shoot it? Yes, if it still had the spots. I think it would make a good throw for the couch in the living room. Besides, it'd be pretty tender! I came across one that was about that size that the vultures were picking clean. From the sign in the woods, it was moved around a couple of times by 'yotes. I put a camera close, but not on the carcass and got a few pick of 'yotes coming and going.
No sign of any arrow damage, so I don't know why it died.
