Coyote pelt tanning

[WV911]

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.
I'm looking for somewhere or someone to cure coyote hides from shot coyotes, not trapped.
I don't have any yet but plan on starting to hunt in the next week or 2. If I'm lucky enough to get any I don't want to just leave it to rot.
Im not looking to sell or make anything with them, I just want to be able to hang them in my cabin.
Im in the Water Valley area.

very few trappers tan fur, you should contact a tannery

I believe Derek at wilderness creations does in house tanning.

I've never sent hides for tanning, but been wondering something along similar lines... can any of you guys comment whether boarded, dry coyote hides (as in ready for a fur-market sale) are able to be sent to a tanner in that kind of case-skinned, fur out, dry state? Or do the smaller private tanners outside the big fur-house auction markets use a process of some kind that's different, where they don't want the hides in a dry, boarded state??

I can't seem to find any specific info about that. I'm thinking about hand picking a couple skins off my market-stack to send for tanning, to keep for myself kinda like the OP is talking to do.

Any other trappers here have experience with sending boarded/dry skins for tanning instead of to auction??

Yup, send them for tanning the same way that you’d send them to auction.

Check out The Coyote Den.
He is tanner from Delia that has a FB page.

I’ve sent a number of fur out for tanning through the ATA. I believe they send them to international? I’m sure someone else can confirm. IMO they’ve done an excellent job.
One consideration you may have if you are sending out a coyote or two for a wall hanger would be to skin out the paws, ears, etc like skinning for taxidermy. It’s a lot more work but worth the time for a nicer wall hanging product. There are some good youtube videos to show how.
