Got my hides back from my Safari a few months ago, how long will they last in the salt? Dakota Traveler .458 WM | ||

Probably be better off getting them tanned, washed and in the freezer. | |||

Good advice bo! I'd follow it Michael. If wet tanned, they can be stored in the freezer for a long time, but I wouldn't make that last for more than a year or two. It helps to spread out the taxidermy bill if you mount one every few months.

Ain't that the truth! I just picked up my full-mounted civet from my trip to Zimbabwe in 2010. Last of the taxidermy bill for the foreseeable future. Same taxidermist turned my muskox around in 5 months and worked around my timetable. It's handy to have a tame taxidermist around.
