Guys, I recieved a early sept. bow kill that the guy put in his freezer and delivered a few days ago.This head is really stiff and appears he didnt have the freezer set cold enough,not moldy or smell bad.Awesome cape,any way I could rehydrate to do a decent job of preping for tannery?Im saying this guy is dried out.

Rehydrate and prepare for tannery and it should be fine. I just tanned one that had been in the freezer for ten years. Solid as a rock. It is now just as good as fresh. I use salt water and injected stop rot were I could. You really have nothing to lose. Better to try than to through it away ! Good Luck !


thanks
