Bison Hide Tanning

[Schaaf]

I acquired a bison this fall and my wife says I need to get his hide out of our deep freeze. Anyone have suggestions on the best way or a recommendation for a place to get a bison hide tanned?

I'm lazy, had a taxidermist take care of it (fleshing, salting, etc.) They used Moyle Mink to tan it. It turned out great.

Thanks! Moyle Mink is the one place already recommended to me. Trying to figure out how to get it to Idaho.

getting into the rustling business?

Once salted and dried it will fit in a box, a big box.
We shipped ours to Moyle and it was not cheap but not overly expensive.

I found him fair and square.

I've shipped frozen hair-on elk via ups ground during the winter. Double bag it and into a heavy duty cardboard box. Elk hides get from Colorado to Minn in a few days with no issues during the winter.

Who does Kent M send capes to? He has a quick turnaround on stuff, might be able to get your hide back to you quicker if he sends it in.

Not to derail this thread, but anyone want to buy a frozen bison hide off a 3 year old bull? $100.00 or obo. I travel to eastern MT once a month in case some one wanted to meet me.

I send all my hides to Moyle’s and they do a great job. However they won’t take green or frozen hides. Will need to be fleshed and salt dried.

Taxidermist sent mine off somewhere, but there is also a place in Arlee MT that has done a couple of hides for my siblings. Might be a second option to price check. I can’t attest to quality.

Check out Merlin’s Hide Out in Thermopolis, WY. Does a lot with bison hides, they might be able to help ya.

USA FOXX will take them frozen green, they’ve done 2 bears for me and made a beaver pillow. Everything turned out great.

By now you have probably done something with your Bison hide. Why not give us an update?

The only thing I’ve done is receive dirty looks from my wife every time she has to dig into the deep freeze.

@Hunting Wife I’ve had a few recommendations for Moyle but I’ve been reluctant to flesh it out myself. I need to get over it and get it taken care of when things warm up a bit.

It's not necessarily recommended but I've fleshed several black bears with a pressure washer and then salted them and sent them off to Wildlife Gallery in Michigan with great results.

gave a green buff hide to the taxi. he sent it somewhere. told me I'd see it in maybe 9-12 months
and then charged me a bunch.
