You're always free to give up on a quest.
Though since it still counts as doing a quest, when you do get the rawhide one make sure to feed all your lions before turning food into rawhide.

My tip is to use up all but one use for each food. For example an elephant calf carcass has 5 uses, feed 4 lions with that one then take another carcass, let's say zebra with 6 uses, then use it to feed 5 lions.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Forgot to check this, whoops. Thanks for the idea, I'll be sure to apply it. I've taken to feeding my lions every other day, once they hit 40% hunger, so I've mainly been feeding them only the carcasses that give 40+ in one go, like gemsbok or impalas. Then I make rawhide of smaller things, like nyalas or steenboks. Still, I'd be much happier with a different rawhide system.

If you want to make a whole carcass into rawhide, what I usually do is kill every warthog and dikdik I come across (they have 1 use in your inventory) in Explore and then make them into rawhides and save all the other (bigger) carcasses as food, that way you don't have to worry about wasting so much food.
