Title: Options for getting a deer hide tanned
Post by: jamesfromseattle on November 24, 2018, 06:24:57 PM: I’ve always wanted to get a deer hide tanned. Buddy dropped a blacktail and offered the hide to me. Unfortunately this is a bad time for a DIY project so I’m just looking to send it out. Any recommendations?

I don’t need it to be functional—I just want to hang it up in my kid’s room (we live in the city without many hunting-friends, so I am trying to get as much taxidermy around him as possible).

Located in Seattle but driving back from Skagit tomorrow if there is anywhere along the way.

My old man just sent one in to artistic taxidermy in Portland. They are charging him 175. 3 month turn around

Gods creation completes it in house and I think charges $95 for a full deer hide.
