Tanning a deer hide
I am considering having a hide tanned.
What needs to be done to it prior to taking it to the tannery?
I skinned it sunday night, there is still lots of meat and fat on the skin. It has sat in a frozen shop since, spread out fur side down.
Should I have salted it, or fleshed it by now, or is the cold keeping it from going bad?
Should I do something different?
I was looking at having it finished with the hair on, so if my lack of prep is going to cause the hair to fall out, I'll just chuck it.
