I'm looking for advise on what to do next. I have already caped, fleshed, turned the ears, lips, nose and eyes and salted my hide. It has been about 2 weeks now since I salted it. How long can it stay in this condition? I would like to tan it myself but am not sure what type of tanning solution to use. I was looking at Krowtan. Any feedback that that product? Any advise would be great.

Never used the Krowtan, but if you follow the directions, should be fine. I used the brush on tans many years ago with good results. Second deer I ever mounted is here in my office, from around 20 years ago.
Salted hide will keep a long time as long as you keep it good and dry.

Cool, Thanks for the advice. I have heard some good things about the Krowtan but just wanted to make sure. My hide is stiff as a board, is that normal? Do I need to do anything to it until I can get it tanned?
