Patrick, I just stretch them and dry scrape. No smell, no gooey nasty mess.
JackCrafty:
Hilbilly, yeah, I can see the advantage of dry scraping. I plan to prepare at least one by dry scraping....but I was hoping for a quicker way to get the hair off. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to the hair. I don't think I want to have deer fur swirling around my back yard for the remainder of the season....
Hillbilly:
Doesn't take but a half-hour or so with a good sharp scraper-takes a while to get it off after bucking, too. The flying hair is kind of messy, I usually just rake it up and throw it in the compost pile.
DanaM:
Patrick I'm highly allergic to deer, but its not the hair its the dander that will get ya, ya know the dead skin flakes and associated little nasties living in the hair.
I get hives from contact, eyes swell shut throat constricts all the fun stuff :P For a bucking solution hardwood ashes mixed in the water also good old garden lime will work
don't know what ratio to use but if its to strong it'll eat the hide ::)
