Am looking to take one frozen coyote hide (tubed, not fleshed) to a soul who can turn it into something suitable for rimming my winter coat's hood. Any recommendations, especially accessible to TriCities, Spokane, or maybe Portland?  Thanks.

I used to take my moose hide to Quil Ceda tannery

You might give George a call since he buys pelts he may know some tanneries

Note to self. "Read instructions first!"

The Moytown folks have preparation instructions here http://www.moytown.com/Preparation.html.  The strongly suggest not freezing a hide until fleshed and dried.

Note to self. "Go shoot another coyote."

You should be able to thaw it out and flesh, strech and dry. Your hide if it hasn't been in the freezer too long and gotten frezer bernt.
I do that all the time, skin them and then freeze them untill I have time to prep them.

Furs back from Moyle last season.

Horse crap.  You can freeze a hide befor salting and drying.  I do it all the time.  About 1/2 the hides I get are already frozen. 

If you are looking to have it soft tanned I can flesh/salt and have it tanned for you.

Guys (including Michelle of course),

Thanks for the advice.  I may be in Walla Walla next week, so if anyone knows the name of that tanner, I'd appreciate it.

So, would I be well advised to flesh it out myself and dry the hide, or does one leave such details to the talented? Moyle's expected them dried.  I am sure they smell better, and ship better, that way.  I've never been down this path before.

Ivar I must complement you. I have tried tanning two of my yotes, One turned out like a deer because I messed up trying to tube it and I still have that one. The other I spent many hours on following directions and messed up really bad on it. I just like that you don't just leave a good pelt out to rot. I also like how your skull turned out although I've never tried that with a yote. Keep up the good work.
This closet is taken- go find your own

Fleshing can be a pain sometimes.  Especially if you are not use to doing it or doing it for the first time.  From my experiance most tanneries want them fleshed and salt dried or put up like a trapper would do.
