Default Preparing hide to get tanned?

Any recommendation on what needs done to prepare a hide to send off to get tanned?

If you have any informative web sites that will help as well.

What does it usually cost to get a deer hide tanned?

Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

We send out hides out to East Coast Taxidermy / East Coast Tannery.
We send them a freshly skun frozen cape. They do everything and send it back ready to mount. They have my moose hide right now. They are actually in PA too... I believe it is Telford.

Oh cool. I will look into them. Thanks a bunch.

Around what do you think a deer hide would cost in total, from shipping to getting it back in your hands?

thanks!
