Hide Tanning?

[RonaldB]

My dad has an axis and whitetail hide in his freezer, he is wanting to get tanned.
Anyone know somebody who does it for a good price?

I use North Texas Tannery in Denton.

The Longhorn Tannery is ran by my parents. Please give me a call and see what you think. There are a few of our fellow TBHers who have used them in the past. You can do a search on the green sheet for some references.

I have no idea where Santa Fe Texas is but I am in Austin and will be glad to help out by meeting you if need be. Dad also has a drop off location in Junction.

Yep, Longhorn Tannery does EXCELLENT work! I work in Pasadena. I could meet up for a TBH express. I go right thru Weimar at least twice a month. Let me know if I can help.

$28 and $35 for tanned hides? is that price correct? there aint supposed to be a 1 in front of the 2 or 3? If those prices are right, thats is a heck of a good deal!

Do you have to flesh and salt it or do they do that too?

I think they offer fleshing, but from what I heard it's outrageously expensive.
This was a while back though.

$35 for an Axis hide at Nort Texas Tannery. I had 20 hides tanned there recently and everyone turned out awesome!

By the way, they flesh them and do everything. Turn around time is roughly 90 days.

I carried 2 red deer hides and 2 whitetail doe hides to them. All I did was skin the deer, roll the hides up and freeze. Took them in and dropped them off, no fleshing, no nothing. Talked to the guy and told him up front what condition they were in and he said $28 on the whitetails and $25 a sq foot on the red deer. I have a pricelist at home that was current/ what he was using in Dec when I dropped off the hides

Every taxi I called local wanted $100 and up for whitetail hide

North Texas is where I have used and they have turned out great- The guys even took my kid on a tour and showed him all kinds of hides and gave him a camo hat that he wears everyday. The prices listed up top are correct.

[Pistol]

$35 for a hide????

That is amazing. Everywhere I have gone has been $125. How are they doing it so cheap?
Shoot, I could freeze it, overnight it, and it would still be cheaper.

[HandiKap Bowhunter]

Yep Glen is gonna take 2 of my Axis hides next time he heads that direction

[Texastaxi]

I've never heard of anyone tanning a flat hide, for $35 ... and including fleshing ...
