My homemade one works GREAT at cutting holes ! I'm afraid to buy one because I might end up with the same problem ! I'd rent one to fry it out thought .
1 question. You say you can keep a deer hide in pickle for 3-6 months but the instructions on the bottle says 8hrs... Are you supposed to let the hide dry some before adding tanning solution or rite after pickle?
dave im trying for first time and used mckenzie acid to pickle hide than i neutralized it drained tote and had to wait for a fleshing knife and didnt put tanning oil on it yet and hair started to slip as i was thinning skin is that because i waited to put tanning oil on it ? and how long do let it dry after neutralize it should i wait to put oil on it , im also trying to save the rest of hide for rugs any advise would be appreciated
HELP ! Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to fix it. I use citric acid bath, 3oz citric acid per gal. 1lb salt per gal. pH is at 2. On day two of the deer hide being in this solution the flesh side starts turning brown ruining the hide. Can anyone please tell me what the problem is. Thank You

You see ... that's not tanning. This is pickling. You have to tan the skin in a tanning solution after you pickle it. A pickled hide, is NOT a tanned hide. When you oil a pickled hide, you have a pickled hide that has been oiled ... still not a tanned hide.
Hello David, I watched your video of Pickling the deer hides, what product did you put on it after the pickle to get this hide tanned as good as it is? And I don't need to remove the ear cartilage until after the tan? Thanks for any advice.
I'm not getting into taxidermy, I've just got one bobcat I caught that I'm going to experiment with and try to make a rug to hang on my wall, can I use alum and salt for the pickle so I don't have to buy the Mckenzie safety acid? Thanks for any advice.
