i kinda really want a deer hide tanned to tack on my wall....my new room is going to be awesome....i got a fish and a squirrel at the taxidermist....and all the mounts i did myself to go on the walls.....im pumped.....the mounts should be done when the room is done at the new house...i dont care that its not done...im at college...but....i think a deer hide would look AWESOME on the wall......just tacked up there....or rugged out....i never butchered my own deer...but i can skin one im sure.....i used to skin squirrels and coons and such....and can do that no problem.....and i did it like youd do a deer.....first question.....i think ill rug it out and tack it on the wall.....so gutting the deer wont effect it much right? ill split the whole belly anyways......?..will a butcher take a deer without a hide? lol.....i know one of the butchers around wont butcher deer that arent skinned and quartered.....how hard is it to quarter them? dad used to butcher his own...so he could help right???how hard is tanning?? it dont have to be too perfect......just so the hair dont fall out and the skin dont rot.......what do i need to do all this??? how hard would it be?? thanx alot guys......i think that would be pretty neat......and deer hides are easy to come by...and its kinda rare to see one done like that....
