I stretched it with salt on it. After I took it out of the tan, I worked it, but should have been worked more. I didn't have the time. I re-hyrdated and did it some more, but not the effort I should. It hangs on a wall fine, and holds the hair. I don't notice any falling out. But it is just hanging on wall. I did not luten tan, I believe.

Doesn't sit compeletely flat. I though maybe airbrush/paint camp name on it some day or a mount on it, or just leave it.


I did find a place on the internet that seamed reasonable, and heard of another place local.

It is a lot of work. Plus dealing with the chemicals when only doing one.

If I got a nice coyote, I would check the prices and look at getting one done nice. If I had the freezer space, and shot enough, maybe I would sit on one until I got some other animals I wanted to do.


I enjoyed learning how. That is pretty much why I did it. Maybe do a hair off leather next.

If I get a bear, I may do mount, and then do the hide myself. Don't want to spend the money for both, the same year.
