First coon 2013 which tannery do you recomend?

[seth30]

Came home from work and found this guy in my back yard, he didn't make it to the treeline   Any ideas on which tannery would be a good place to send the hide too?  Another question when I went to pull on the tail the last 4 inches of the hide just stayed on the bone and split away from hide.  Not sure what I did wrong?  Any insight or help would be greatly accepted!

Nice coon! Do you have any ideas of what you want to do? Make something, or just tan?

[seth30]

Right now just a tan, but I want to make a coon skin hat for my son.

did you split the tail?

You need to split the tail.  Otherwise it could slip.

flesh and dry it then send it to moyle mink and tannery in idaho, they do a great job on garment tanned animals.
