I've been getting so many light and medium hides in my loot bag, that I've lost track of what animals they're dropped from.The light hides are dropped by level 11-13 animals and I'm fairly certain boars are one of those. I'd suggest hunting a Crazed Broadtooth, Splintertusk Sow or Wild Tusker boar as I know they're all lower than level 13. Here's a online wiki page for all animals[lotro-wiki.com]. While this link specifically lists all variations of boars[lotro-wiki.com]. Although I rarely hunt them, I'm fairly certain deer drop hides too.

I have to ask though since you've played all the way to level 35, what've you been doing so far with all the hides that show up in your loot bag?

Oops, my bad with the typing - beasts levels 1 - 13.

Light hides is what you get from animals in the starter areas.
Medium is the next up, then sturdy.

It correlates with copper, barrow iron/silver, rich iron/gold ore in the area.
So when you see copper ore, the animals will give light hides.

You being L35, I suggest going to Ered Luin or the Shire, and kill wolves (There are a few wolf-dens in the Shire, and a valley full of wolves in Ered Luin)

still getting only matted fur. i try it hundreds. :(

Hmm...well I guess if you can't get light hides from those animals that are listed in the wiki as providing them, there must be cap at some point at which low level animals stop dropping them. That does sort of make sense, as that would discourage groups of high level PCs from returning to a low level area and doing a major purge on certain species. I find at times the animal respon can be a bit too slow/infrequent even when heavy hunting is done by PCs for which the animals are green threats.

If such a cap does in fact exist, the only thing I can think of is to hunt them with another lower level toon and then put the hides in your account's shared storage. IIRC your vault and your houses chest can be accessed by your other toons. THB though, I haven't played the other 2 toons I created, so I'm not 100% about that.

No, there is no limit on mat drops.
Low level animals have a chance to drop light hides.
Clearing out the wolf dens in the Shire a few times should yield enough

OK cool and good to know.

Another question is what what subspecies were you hunting? As well, did you check that subspecies on the wiki links I provided above, to see if it in fact drops light hides - a row of icons for each that shows what they may drop. There's no point in hunting 100's of 1 subspecies if it don't drop what you need.

Take wolves of the Shire for instance. Most subspecies (Wolf, Bold Wolf or Snarling Wolf) may drop light hides, but the Grim Maw wolf doesn't.
