But if he doesn't know how to turn ears and split lips and salt a hide properly, I wouldn't recommend it. Have him find a taxidermist at his drop off point and contact him (or her) to prep the hide and ship it for him. That's the SAFEST way.
I have used these guys several times and they are great to work with, and my clients were also pleased. check them out.
They are very thin skinned animals that require a softer touch then most deer. I had done one that came from Alaska the customer brought it back with him salted. The outfitter done a great job turning everything and it was in prime shape when it got to me. If this is not an option I would do what George suggested. Jack F
thanks for the replys,i'll look into alpha.com or have him talk to his outfitter. thanks again
