<Dave>Tannery?
Does anyone know of a good tannery? Hopefully, one that is convenient to use and reasonably priced.
It would be a real plus if they did buckskin and hair on as well, but buckskin is the most important...
Thanks

<sure-shot>Juneau said it right. New Method Tannery is tops in this field. Most of my mounts were tanned by New Method, could not be happier.

D Huntersure shot, about how much will it be to do a deer size hide? "D"

Frank NowakowskiI don't think New Method falls into the "reasonably priced" slot though! I had several African hides done by NM in 1999 and the bill nearly gagged me. I did call and after 5 minutes of polite conversation it was lowered about 25%. Maybe it was the fact that the hides were African but I thought they were expensive.

<sure-shot>"D", I can't quote you a price. My mounts are done by Chase's Wildlife, UT 435-563-3072. Chase has used NM exclusively for years. Taxidermists get a break in price of course. There was another tannery here in CA that was questionable(I won't list online), alot of taxidermists were unhappy. sure-shot

MLindsayYour best bet on a tannery is Advantage Tannery in Houston, Texas. My taxidermist B&B Taxidermy, Conroe Taxidermy plus many others use them. They have done all of my African trophies and I'm very pleased.
