All depends on the tannery. "Most" won't take them unless you are a licensed taxidermist. A big reason for it is to keep taxidermists in buisiness because tannerys need taxidermists not regular people lookin to get a hide tanned cheaper. The money isnt made for a tannery by pelt tans, its their number one intake,deerheads and lifesize capes,that are the money makers because of the volume.Another reason is if (green) hides are out of season it is illlegal to posses them anyways unless you are a licensed taxi or the animal has a registered carcass tag on it. I'm sure there is other reasons but those are the two big ones that jump out at me as a taxidermist.WCL
