I am a biginner at taxidermy. My talent is more in making habitat bases than it is in mounting animals to put on them. None the less, I am trying to learn. My biggest hurdle has been turning and fleshing without ruining capes. I decided to try a place in Alamaba called "Wildlife Creations" that was offereing a fleshing, tanning service at what I considered to be a price "To good to be true" ($35 for deer sized capes). I finally decided to send them 3 capes to see what they were all about. 2 weeks later, I received my capes back. They were turned, fleshed, and tanned, ready to mount. I am satisfied with what I received.
My origianl plan was to just use this service until I could learn to do the work myself without ruining capes. If I can continue to get this service at this price, I may never learn to flesh and tan.
The guy's name is Brian McDonald and the phone number is 256-378-5901.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER TANNED A HIDE . YOUR BEST BET IS TO USE AN AUTOMATIC TANNER. YOU JUST FLESH IT TURN THE EYES AND LIGS AND EARS.
AND DEGREESE WITH KEMAL-4 AND RINSE AND DROP INTO TANNER, WITH THE TANNING CRYSTALS HE PROVIDES, YOU DONT HAVE TO PICKLE THE HIDE . ADD AIR PREASURE AND LET TURN.
