for elk tanning?
with hair on and off/full tanning?
I had a hair on done a couple of years ago for $100.
Then this last one I asked for it hair off, just for the leather, now their asking for $325
Doesn't it cost more to have it done with the hair on on average?
Just looking for input before I tell them to keep it.

I paid $100 to have a small pie bald whitetail hide tanned last year. That hide is BEAUTIFUL and butter soft!!!! They shaved it down and did all the tanning and even sewed up the broadhead holes!:wink:

i tan my own with kits that are readily available from taxidermy supply companies.

first thing i do with a fresh hide is get salt on it. then i can tan it later when i want to/ have time.

a little elbow grease goes a long way. i think around $125 was the going rate for "hair on" from taxidermists in my area.
