Who to use???

[3daddysinc.]

Had a customer ask who to send an alligator hide to. He wants to send it to the tannery himself, straight from the skinning shed. Says he is going on a gator hunt in sept and wants me to reccomend someone. I have NO IDEA what to tell him.
Can anyone help out???

Tell him to take it to a taxifdermist first. he probably has no idea what to remove and not to remove as far as fleshing and cleaning the head go. if the tannery has to do it, the cost will be very expensive, that is if they even will do it, or no how to do it. sending a deer hide to be preped by a tanneryu is a lot different that having them clean out a gator head, which cah take hours or even days depending on the size
