Title: Local taxidermists that do in house tanning
Post by: 7mmfan on November 08, 2022, 12:30:00 PM: My uncle just killed a bull on the coast and wants to get the hide tanned. A soft tan, hair on. I seem to remember a thread a while back that had a few western WA guys that did in house tanning but I cannot seem to find it. Any recommendations?

Has to be bed. The spray on tans just turn me orange. Plus I'm a little on the hairy side, doesn't work great. :yike:

Rick at Cedar River is fantastic, I've taken 3 skins to him, but he sends them out like most guys around here do. I don't have an issue with that, but Uncle would prefer a faster turnaround so seeing if there is someone local that does inhouse tanning. I remembered a place in Duvall mentioned before, Wildlife Obsessions must be it.
