What to do with deer hide

<< < (4/4)

Loope:
Work has been crazy, but I finally got started on it last week.  I decided to go with the rack and dry scrape method.  Made a rack out of 2x4s and got the hide tied in and have it drying in the garage.  It took a lot more rope than I thought.  I bought 150 feet of cheap paracord and that wasn't quite enough.  I had to scrounge about a 6 foot piece of rope to finish it out.  I will let it stay racked for a while to make sure it is dried out good before I scrape of the hair.

Thanks for all the advice,

Michael
