Guest wdenike Report post Posted February 20, 2014 You are asking if someone will help you do it or you want to pay someone to do it? I know trappers are tighter than the bark on a tree by nature!!! ( I am pretty frugal myself. ) But you can't seriously be looking for a job interview are ya? Helping others is becoming more rare by the day I guess. Patrick if you are up this way and get one I'll give ya a hand. But they still will have to be tanned. There are do it your self options. But I would recommend a professional tannery.

YoteHunter Report post Posted February 21, 2014 I will help you skin it but I am in florence. If you are unsure what to do stick it and put it in a freezer. If you are to far for someone here to help out there are lots of good youtube videos on how to do it. For fleshing I find these videos entertaining. I am no expert but let me know if I can help in any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatrickJr Report post Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks guys I wanted to pay for someone to do it, then I guess send it to a tannery, but by posting this thread I jinxed my self and we did 15 stands this morning and have nothing to show for it.

Hyperwrx Report post Posted February 21, 2014 Get it to me and I'll skin it and teach you how to do everything along the way. $75 and 45 minutes later its on a stretcher ready to dry. 1 week later you can pick it up finished and ready for sale. I know there are a few guys in Tucson who would do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hyperwrx Report post Posted February 21, 2014 $125 an hour and I'll teach you how to predator call so you call one in on your own and shoot it instead of use dogs or as we saw most recently, pull your truck over and shoot one you saw sitting on a log while you drove down the road. I figure you're gonna need to pay me for a few hours of work at least because I can only imagine being cooped up with you in a truck listening to you gab on and on is going to take up a fair amount of time. You don't seen very teachable but I'll give it my best shot. Shoot me an email if you are interested and I'll put it on the calendar. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
