You'd have to axe a leather couch to get leather. The couches I've seen in the random houses are cloth not leather. Look in the hotels, there should be leather couches in every suite.

when you use your bow.. it will get better..your level of the bow will rise same as your skill.. use your skill points wise

Kneel and sneak attack the deer for extra damage, at first u prob have a low quality bow so the deer will run for a bit after being hit but just follow without spooking and sneak shot him again if he doesnt die first from bleeding. Later when u get ur bow to high quality as well as a good archery skill you can one shot deer with this sneak attack but by then you prob be using guns instead.

Next time you see a Deer get as close as you can. If it runs DO NOT CHASE it. Just watch, it will stop running after a few seconds. Slowly approach and go into sneak mode. From the side shot deer in the shoulder. From the back shot him in his butt. He will run directly away from you. Again. DO NOT CHASE. Slowly follow after a 5 count. There is a good chance that your first arrow will make it bleed out and it will just die. But if not get as close as you can and put another arrow in him. This should finish him off.

Pigs I deal with differently. I'll get as close as I can and then wait till they run from me so I can shot them in the butt running after them and shooting again if needed. Pigs don't run as fast as a deer and you can sometimes catch up to them. However one or two arrows in the butt will put a pig down. I have a hell of a time getting a kill hit on the side of a pig so I want them running from me.

Animals are worth a lot of xp it's good to learn how to kill them early game.

headshot from sneak ever with q1 bow kills dear on spot, aim carefully and you will be ok.

axes waste 50% of drops, eg you get only half fat,meat leather with exe, use bone shiv instead.

If you are brave enough, apartments in the 0,0 city is really great for leather.
Each room got leather couch.
Also, this is a good way to get food and increase your loot level. (a LOT of places to loot)

[RawCode]

0.0 city, well, you will get lots of leather from dogs, if manage to survive...

[Rusty]

black couchs and chairs are leather

Houses with pools in towns.

[Miiiiiiiiiiiiike]

Run around wasteland areas. If you get some dogs, you will get leather from them.

Of course, you may die. And be sure to have plenty of bandages to prevent bleeding out. And there is a high chance of getting an infection too.
