Can anyone recommend someone in Canterbury that can tan the skin and tail for me? Both in the freezer at present, the skin isn't much bigger than a bath mat but I'd rather someone that knows what they were doing does it than me.

My fallow was a large winter coat doe and the cost was $195.00 so I imagine your whitetail would be less than that.Quote:

Did you end up finding someone?
Still in the freezer. Just been busy. Will try High Country guy as a mate can drop in for me.

I've used him a few times and dropping a tahr skin in Tomorrow. Good guy ole Barry. Had a head to deal with that I shot and came out to the work being locked down and walked me through how to keep the head sweet for a euro without any gear in a little shit townhouse.Quote:
