I have some places on a bear skin that excessive amount of blood had saturated.
I just pickled the skin for 3 days, and I still have some blood left in the skin.
I haven't shaved it yet.
I salted and dried the skin before my pickle also.
Will this cause me problems during the tanning process?

After you pickle the hide for three days,you then take it out drain real good and shave. From there you degrease rinse well, place it back into the pickle for another day.
Now during the degreasing process 95% or more of the blood stain on the hide usually comes out. That's why Epo-Grip's degreaser is also a great blood out.
As for tanning if all the steps where properlly taken you will have no problems.
I haven't gotten to the degreasing stage yet, I didn't know that is where the blood stains where removed. I thought that was to happen in the pickle.
However I got Rittle's super solvent it hear it works real well, I'll try it first.
Thanks
I'm mounting a flying goose and want to hang it from the ceiling with string. I'm not sure what how to hook it to the goose so it can hang and not fall down. How should I hang it?
