I've got a deer hide that is a month old. It's been outside draped over a sawhorse. Can I rehydrate it & tan it to use for a bow quiver? If so, what do I rehydrate it in?

You could rehydrate it with a handful of salt to a gallon of water solution and a good surfactant.

Hope that you want buckskin though, it will probably  lose a lot of hair..

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. They are one and the same...

Re-hydrate! It is an important step.

I was actually thinking of taking the hair off anyways. Maybe thats the way I will go.
