Tanning Deer Hides
Filed under: Ask Grant, Deer Biology
I just managed to harvest my first deer with a bow and as a momento I am going to try and tan the hide myself. Do you have any tips or advice? Thank you, Peter Question
Peter,
Congratulations! I love tanned deer hides. In fact, I have every hide from deer my children kill tanned for them. They use them as extra blankets, take them to school, etc. However, I send mine to Moyle Mink & Tannery in Idaho. I’ve never tanned a hide. Sorry I can’t provide more information on this subject.
Growing (and enjoying) Deer together,
Grant
