Is it okay to freeze a gator hide after it has been salted?

I'm not too sure on gators, but if it is dried and salted I would think it would be ok in a dry cool area for awhile. -
Yes it is fine. I froze mine for a year before getting it tanned and boots made.Comment

Good deal, who'd you use for your tanning and boots? I need to have a belt made and maybe a wallet for my son-Originally posted by stick-um View PostComment

If it is salted and dried there is no need to freeze it as long as you can keep it dry and free from bugs.Comment

If its salted and green dont freeze it. If its dried your fineComment

Alright now y'all got me confused-
I haven't skinned or salted the gator yet( waiting til we catch our last one) so should I just skin it and freeze it, no salt? Or skin it, salt it and dry it before freezing?Comment

We use AmTan when we kill ours to have leather made. Their work is phenominal and they have good direction here..

What does it cost to get a pair of boots made? Size 11.5 if that matters?Comment

Yes. Skin it and freeze it. Do not salt it if your going to freeze it.Originally posted by Moose View PostComment

Much cheaper to buy the boots already made
It will cost you lots of money to tan the hide and then have a boot maker make your boots
I'm guessing 1500-1800 to have them made
