How to Get Hide, Pelt, Fur and Leather in Bellwright

Animals give raw materials, racks turn them into crafting materials, and crafting eats a lot of them.

Each animal gives one kind of skin, and they are not interchangeable. The wiki's item pages say:

The wiki's map pins 22 wolf habitats (nearest villages: Bradford (8), Haerndean (7), Padstow (6), Farnworth (1)) and 25 boar habitats (Bradford (8), Farnworth (7), Padstow (7), Haerndean (2)). Open wolves and boars on the map. There are no deer or rabbit pins, so hide and rabbit pelts have to be hunted by sight.

If hunting is not for you, the merchants guide lists who buys and sells Hide: 5 merchants sell it to you and 2 buy it from you.

You can skin an animal where it fell. The wiki adds that processing the carcass at a Butchery gives a better return. The Butchery is a wiki tier-1 building and costs 8 Wooden Plank, 3 Log, 5 Copper Nails, 7 Wood, 2 Rope.

For a steady supply the wiki lists two hunting buildings: the Hunters Camp (tier 2, 8 Log, 12 Thatch, 12 Rope, 18 Wood, 22 Wooden Plank, 10 Copper Nails) and the Hunter's Lodge (tier 3, 24 Cob, 6 Cured Rope, 6 Iron Nails, 12 Hardwood Plank, 40 Thatch). The tables do not say how many animals either one brings in.

Raw Hide is made from Hide on a Drying Rack (wiki tier 2, 3 Log, 2 Rope). The wiki gives no time or amount for this step.

Leather is made on a Tanning Rack (tier 2, 8 Wooden Plank, 10 Wood, 4 Rope, 4 Copper Nails): 1 Raw Hide, 1 Pelt, 12m. Crude Fur is 2 Fur on the same rack, 10m. The wiki also lists a Tanner's Hut (tier 2, 6 Log, 14 Thatch, 15 Rope, 30 Wooden Plank, 8 Wood, 8 Copper Nails), and says leather is tanned by a Tanner.

Leather is in 46 recipes, Raw Hide in 36 and Pelt in 27, mostly clothing, armour and weapons. It also gates tiers: the Village Hall research asks for 10 Hide, the Town Hall research for 10 Leather, and the Town Hall itself for 23 Raw Hide to build. See best armor for what to make of it and the tech tree for the research costs.
