That's still pretty cool Frank. I would also frame it for the man cave.

I just recently tried my hand at tanning a snowshoe hare hide and used an alum powder and borax paste. Seemed to work ok. NEatsfoot oil can be used to treat the hide after if your looking for a flexible leather. Pretty useless though for a rabbit as I found the skin to be super thin.
Anyone else use this method?
I have a friend who retired and took up trapping as a hobby, he makes some money but the prices are pathetic these days. Being he is a sheep farmer and his son's also own sheep farms, finding coyote is not very difficult. Savage308
wow they should be rolling in the cash, with the price of fur and the price of wool "rolls eyes" lolQuote:

Yup, that's what happens. We do all the hard work to get them and get nothing for it.
That fur will probably go on a Canada Goose coat and sell for $700.00.
Glad you went ahead and did that. A really unique "trophy" or conversation piece.Quote:

My son, just this winter, passed the Fur Harvest, Fur Management & Conservation Course. The best thing I can see coming out of this, is now he can write a % off of a lot of stuff we use normally, ie. gas for atv, new boots, outdoor clothing, etc. And we do not have to call in every time we find bear bait at the side of the road.
