« on: August 10, 2009, 10:27:00 AM »
I have a deer hide in the freezer that I need to take care of before we move. It hasn’t had anything done to it I just rolled it up and put It in a plastic bag. Anyone know of a tanner that I could send it to and have process......stabow

You can take it to your local taxidermist so that it can be fleshed and salted. I am sure that they can send it off to one. I coudl give you several but they all require a preped hide before thy recieve it.

You can try the Wildlife Gallery in Michigan, one of the best. There also is a place here in Wisconsin called JB Place thats located in the West Bend, Wi area.

Avoid the taxidermist step if you can.  I would try to deal with the tannery directly.  I have worked with my local taxidermist, and I am still waiting for a mule deer hide that I delivered to him 9 months ago.

look in the yellow pages and find a tannery near you.  Send them the hide and you're done.  Salting and drying a hide is just another wasted step unless you don't have access to a freezer (you do).  You could always throw it away and get another fresh one this fall!!

Ive used these guys before and will again. Pretty painless. You either send the stretched and dried hides or I think you can also send heavily salted hides too.
