mvfroggy Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Re: tanning a deer hide Thats a good link, I think Im gonna try it myself. My only question is where can I buy the chemicals? Will the kit cabelas sell work the same? Is the bacterkill just an acid? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTF Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Re: tanning a deer hide It clearly states on my web pages that the instructions I give out is strictly for the product I stock and cannot be used with another manufactures product. Any kit you buy from another vendor should supply you with complete instructions. Although, not as in depth as mine , but suitable to get ya through it.

mvfroggy Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Re: tanning a deer hide Just put the hide in the garbage today. I dont know what went wrong took the hide out of the bacterkill to hang it and the hair was just peeling off. Next time I'll just leave it to the pro's to do it. Thanks for all the help, It was fun.
