After skinned , fold in half ( hair not touching flesh side) and then roll up. Put in frezzer if you can't take it in that day. Don't flesh it, that's taxi job

Has anybody done there rug there selves or is the taxi guys that special,heck the natives allways did it didn't they,i cant imagine it being that hard to cost 2 grand or more and I think I could gain a little pride in the task (OR NOT ?? ) :chuckle:I'm not paying some guy 2 grand for anything that I can do myself,those prices are ridiculous.For what ,adding chemicals and watching it work !or am I loosing my mind in even trying this ?

2Gs for a rug? Never heard of that much. Try somewhere else, should be under a grand
