I mixed a batch of saftee pickeling solution. My P.H. and salt levels are correct. I fleshed my deer hides and salted them dry as a board. I was wondering if it was alright to put the dried hides directly into the pickle or is it important to rehydrate first in a water bath.
Thanks for the valuable information that is posted on this site daily!

You can rehydrate in the pickle bath. I personally like to rehydrate in plain water with just a small bit of salt added prior to pickling.
Mr. Rittel who makes this product, Safty Acid, says to rehydrate before it goes into the pickle.
