keegan Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I've been deer hunting all my life, but I have never tanned a hide. I'm planning on tackling it this years. Does anyone have any suggestions and/or opinions on the process. I thought about a brain tan. I youtubed the basics. It seems like you scrape it, tan it, wash it, work it, and possibly smoke it. I want to leave one side with fur for a throw rug or a blanket. Some videos say avoid using salt if you want a smooth finish on the bare skin side. Any cheap suggestions on the tactics or tools that are cheap any easy. Thanks everyone... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavindodd Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 There's q liquid that u can buy, that tabs the hide instead of the brain, the Brain really makes a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Google Pro 1 tanning oil. It's fool proof and the best route for an amateur to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
