I have been tanning hides for over sixty years. I do traditional tanning as my native people up in far Northern California have done for centuries. We never salt a hide as we don't need to. Many times I have washed a hide in powdered Borax soap. Meat bees are a great help in getting meat of the hide. They don't like a salted hide

Should be titled "Supplies you need to tan a hide."

My skidster works great for pulling them off. Hook deer to pole around neck. Skin some back around neck. Put a rock in the hide. Tie it and hook to skidder or tractor. Back up. Truck would work. Wahl clippers. Buzz hair. Flesh it. Soak in water with ashes. Pull out. Grain it. Dry it. Brain it. Work it soft. Done. Whewww. I'm tired now.

I was just curious on how to tan a hide. Way more complex than I thought it would be. I am going to leave it to you the professional.

Does all of this information apply to cow hides and other animals as well as deer?

Do y'all sell the hides? Online store?

I got a deer hide how do I get the gamy smell out of it

I’m confused. I think my mom meant totally something else when she said she would “tan my hide” for sassing.

I have racoon and a muskrat hide.

How does one take your course?

Thought I was watching Game of Thrones at first

Oh is that all? LoL

Creepy

Thats bs!! Every single hunter I've met here in Denmark and Norway just want the meat. They hate that you want their scraps. They'll give it to you if you ask but boy do they act like its a bother
