Default tanned hide Q

i shot a bear last fall and had it tanned, it was finished in october, and still has a bad smell eminating from it, smells chemical, not like something rotting, i'id heard it might be a sealant they put on it, but i just want it to go away, is there anyway i can do this without ruining the pelt?
it seems to be coming from the paws for the most part, and febreeze wont take it away,
any suggestions, as to what it is, or how to get rid of it
the smell is so prolific that i keep it in a closet, instead of displaying it

Default RE: tanned hide Q

i couldnt tell you what it is because there can be many things that might make it smell the way it does. If it were mine i would go and buy as many SPRAY CANS of lysal that you can from your local grocery store and spray that all over the spot thatsmells because it does not ruin the hide if you use that. Make sure you dont get the bottles of lysal because it seems to not work like the spray cans do. If that doesnt work just PM me and i will see what other ways can help you to get ride of the smell
