I always wondered if you could flesh out the hide and then salt it and call it good? I've seen hides that were just hung out in the sun for a few days and the skin on the inside was leathery but pliable and seemed to hold well with no hair slippage. Is this just a short term thing? I'd assume you couldn't get it wet but, that wouldn't be an issue anyway where I'd keep it.
Can a salted hide or one hung in the sun keep?
