Blood

I have some frozen white tail skins and they have been salted and I'm planning on tanning them. They have some, well, ok alot, of blood on the belly side of them. One of them has two exit holes because the bullet fragmented after it hit a bone, the fragment hit the jugular vein, lots of blood. The other hide was hit in the heart, lots of that bright red blood. Will the blood come out when it's tanned? Or if not is there someway that I can clean the blood stains?

Thanks,
Jimmy

The chances are that the skin will be stained after the tanning , it depends if the blood is all the way into the skin,try to soak the skin in cold water and laundry detergent and try washing it out , some of that stain will come out , (blood) this should have been done before you salted the skin.
