Old deer hides tanning questions

<< < (2/2)

hedgeapple:
Thanks Billy.  I'm brainless  :D  But my chickens are producing more eggs than I can eat.  So...

Hillbilly:
Older hides will actually tan out better than fresh ones a lot of times. The glues in the skin break down with age, easier to break them.

Pappy:
When Jesse and I get ready to do the ones from this year I may give it a try also.I have 3 or 4 that were scraped,salted and rolled up 4 or 5 years ago,I wondered if they would be OK.Guess we just need to give it a try,they ant much good like they are. :)
