Title: Cape tanning turnaround time/ unable to contact Taxidermist (update)
Post by: C-Money on August 18, 2014, 10:50:51 AM
 So....what is a turn around time for a tannery? I'd sure like to just ask the Taxi, but I am getting nervous not being able to make contact. I am at this time positive the taxi is an upstanding, great guy, but I would sure like to get a reply to my messages. Maybe I am worried for nothing, (I Hope).

Centrailia Fur and Hide.

https://furandhide.com/

Hair off tanned i get back around 4months on average
Hair on take a bit longer..

Follow the salting and shipping instructions and have had no problems so far..

Now i will add that i have only had hides done for rugs etc, have not had any done for mounting, but they have an in house taxi so i would guess they do the hides for him.
A phone call to them (like now, not during the busy time during the season) should answer any questions.

The Taxidermist is in NE Oregon. I am waiting on my Uncle to follow a lead to track him down. If I have not been able to contact him in the next few weeks, I will release his name and see if anyone knows him. He usually asks permission to hunt our farm, so he is bound to show up in a month or so.  Just disappointing I cant contact him, since last Sept. Phone, email, US mail(letter).

My Uncle was able to contact the Taxi. He has been working on other mounts, and had a change of primary jobs. He is to call me in the next few days. Good deal.  Mods, feel free to delete!
