I wouldn't waste a good deer hide to make glue. Make rawhide from it. Use knox or get some "real" hide glue.

Making hide glue is easy, once you have clean degreased rawhide.   But if you've gone that far, there are better things to do with  the rawhide.   Save the scraps though, for a batch of glue later.    Ron
