The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
From "Bear Huntin'": "They say a single hair from the back of a bristlefur bear is sharp enough to cut a dwarf's beard. But if the fur doesn't kill you, the maul will." "These pelts are even sharper than I imagined."
From "Highmountain Hides": <Hemet buries his nose deep into the bear hide.>
...Goodbye, Nesingwary. It was nice knowing you.
It seems you simply have to skin stuff and follow the quests it gives when it gives them because Mother's Skinning Knife and the Deadeye Monocle quests are not available when you visit the npc's right away without doing any of the previous quests.

Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Scrap of Pants
The mouth of this particular beast contained a piece of handsewn cloth. The fabric bears the word "singwa". While the term "singwa" is unfamiliar, it DOES happen to be the middle of the last name of a fairly notable Azerothian skinner.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Freedom to Roam
I remember bein' young, <name>. D'ye remember it? So much less responsibility... I could just run around as I pleased. Now, I'm pretty much stuck with my hunting crew, here in Highmountain. There're so many interestin' creatures in the other regions o'the Broken Isles, though.
