How to cure and dry a deer hide?
I went deer hunting the past week I was wondering, how can I dry the hide so it doesn't rot and I can have it in my room? I know you can use salt, but you would need a lot, and it would be really messy. I also don't have to take it to get it professionally done because I want to learn myself. Thanks!
You can buy tanning kits from several online sites for this. You can also use the deers brain to brain tan the hide. Brain-tanning instructions can be found online with a quick search. One of my favorite sites for tanning kits is:
http://www.taxidermy.com/
WASCO (the site at the link) has many kits to choose from, including kits for snake skin, small animals and large animals. They also sell taxidermy supplies for mounting the animals should you decide to try that yourself.
I don't recommend simply salting the hide; it does dry it but does not tan the hide and it is too stiff to do anything with.
Shoot straight and stay safe.
