I don't know if the hide was left on the stretcher too long or even if it was on a stretcher at all but it is a mess, no tail, part of the back end missing, it doesn't look like the ears were turned, it is a mess and I don't know if it is even worth salvaging. It looks like the entire belly was cut away. However, it was not tanned, it is a green hide and the guy who handled it should never touch a pelt again! I hope what ever the OP traded for it wasn't worth more than a couple of dollars.
