I would like to tan a deer hide with the fur on. I'm a little confused about the process. I've read a book on making buckskin, but I don't think that would work for "hair on" tanning.

I've got two fresh deer hides and one brain.

Until I get this figured out, the brain is in a zip lock bag, then wrapped in white freezer paper and frozen in the deep freeze.

The skins were harvested this weekend, but kept cold. I plan to fold them over, meat side in, roll them up, and freeze them until I figure out what do do? I thought I'd just bag them and tie them up several times. Hopefully it won't give the freezer a funny smell.

Where do I go from here? I want to hang them on a wall. Maybe sew them to a small blanket and use it as a throw occassionally.
