Frozen deer hide

(1/4) > >>

osage outlaw:
How long will a deer hide stay good in the freezer?  My first selfbow deer has been in the freezer for 2 years now.  I'm wondering if its any good.

aaron:
I have tanned some that were frozen 2 years with no probs.

Spotted Dog:
was it scraped before frozen ? The meat and fat removed. If so more than likely ok.

Ranasp:
As long as it hasn't gone through multiple freeze/thaw cycles (like from lost power) it should be fine.

BowEd:
Your deer will be fine Clint.With or without being fleshed as long as you did'nt have a 2 day power failure.Did you fold it flesh side to flesh side?That's best.
