Best place to skin just over 300?Follow
Should I stay in the old world and skin the 58-60 mobs or hunt and peck for the lvl 60 boars in Hellfire to start upping my skinning over 300?
If you plan on going to OLs anyways, go there.
If you're lvl 70 and just trying to level it up, go wherever the mobs are easiest to kill and give the most valuable leather.
If you have leatherworking as a second profession, skin whatever will help you level that up the most.
I would say to make the most of your time, dependent on your situation.

Right now lvl 64 Shaman
If you're 64 then head to Nagrand and work the area where all the voidwalkers and the clefthoofs hang out - you'll encounter a lot of people slaughtering the clefthoofs for meat for the cooking daily, plus have a steady supply of stuff to kill and skin yourself, in fact, just do the various hunting quests and that alone should ding you to 375 from all the skinnable critters you'll have to kill.

This is great advice; if you just want to level skinning, however, stay in Azeroth and kill Yeti (is Yeti the plural of Yeti? Like Moose?) in Winterspring. You'll get a ton of Rugged Leather, which is worth much more than Knothide Scraps (but much less than Heavy Clefthoof), and since the enemies are 6 or more levels below you, you'll cut through them like a hot knife through butter. Not sure how tough the Clefthoof in Nagrand around Oshu'gun are at that level, but I didn't get to Nagrand until 66, so I figure they're around that level.

Start in Hellfire!! Ravagers when killed drop the ravager meat used for ravager dog food and when skinned you can get fel scales off of them on top of knothide scraps. Next best place when your 65-66 is Nagrand find the deer and clefhoofs and have a party. If you are just at 300 you cant skin anything over level 60 anyway so hang in Hellfire for a bit and once your around 330 skinning head to other places.

I thought the plural of moose was meese. Oh, wait, meese is the plural of mice ("I hate you meeses to pieces!" - boy am I dating myself, if you know where that comes from then grats on being 50+).

HFP is a good place for 300 skinning. As mentioned, once you get to 330 or so, Clefthoofs (clefthooves?) become viable, but keep in mind that the "neutral" clefthoofs have a pretty mediocre drop rate of Clefthoof Leather, and the Clefthoof Bulls are level 65/66. I actually started grinding them at level 63 with my druid, so you should be OK. Whether you're Horde or Alliance, there's an abundance of Clefthoof Bulls outside either of the main quest hubs in Nagrand, and if you run out of those, you can always gank Talbuks for skin until the Clefthoofs respawn.
Hmm - question - will the yeti allow him to skill to 375 or will they turn "grey" at some point as far as skinning skill ups go?
As for the drop rate of heavy clefthide - shrugs - he's just trying to skill up skinning which means that anything that drops should be considered gravy, plus, he hasn't established if he's got LW to go with it - if so then he definately wants Outland skins if his LW has cleared 300.

I levelled skinning twice and had great fun just standing in areas killing everything until my bags were full of leather and whatever else was sellable at auction , and i seem to remember the first place i had a little trouble with skinning was hellfire . so if at 300 you can skin those boars in hellfire then that is where to go and the lower level ravagers there are great fun if your skinning is high enough and of course a bonus with being in hellfire is far better drops and the meat usually sells well.
So its your choice but outland does have advantages over the old world if you are able to skin there , there are far more mobs in outland so take as much advantage of that fact as you can.

On my realm, aside from Cobra Scales (pfffffffffffffft), clefthoof leather is the single highest value per item result you can get from skinning anything anywhere. If someone is going to go to Nagrand to skill up their skinning, they might as well throw in some tidy profit (or versatile materials) to go with it. Knothide Scraps are boo. Knothide leather is meh. Clefthoof is decent. If you're going to go through the tedium of grinding beasts 1-2 levels above you, might as well go all the way.
Not all Helboars are L60. If you are having problems killing them with your "lvl 64 Shaman", you are in deep trouble. ...and being unable to kill the beasties is the only reason I can think of to go back to the old world for skins.
Yet another reason to go for the Clefthoofs - significantly more XP then the yetis along with better green and trash rewards!
Plus, as noted, double bonus is that you get to do your big game hunting quest at the same time - you're going to have to kill 60 Clefthoofs and 60 Talsomethings (the deer) and it gets a tad monotimous after a while. If you're deliberately leveling your skinning skill while you're killing these 120 skinnable critters then you don't feel so bad.
My skinning wasn't maxed out yet by the time my first toon (who was also a skinner) did that quest and it was a joy to do - I was getting skill ups and lots of scraps and leather and even the occassional clefthide.
I've since done the quest again on 3 non-skinning toons and its horrifically boring and I feel like I'm wasting and losing so much just leaving all those bodies to rot. >_<
