Tanning advice please!!

I am very new to taxidermy and am having a very hard time deciding what type of home tanning product I should go with for a mount of a whitetail deer. I am looking for a tan that is easy to do but yet will have a long life to it. If anyone can help me please do.

EZ-100

The easiest I've tried, found in many supply catalogs. I also use Citric Acid for the pickle, very safe, great results. I know a national Champion personally that uses this method, however this is not to say that this is the very best method. Just what I prefer.


one more

Also one other great tan is Liqua-tan from Knobloch's.
Not to say that Bruce's tan isn't great. I have used both and had great succes. Each one has it's own way to tan. So you need to make the choice on which one is best for you.


Lutan F

To me whether starting or experienced you can't beat Lutan F.
when done you have a nice white soft cape. I guess it's all
about personal preference.
