    Frozen whitetail skin and tail

    Can anyone recommend someone in Canterbury that can tan the skin and tail for me? Both in the freezer at present, the skin isn't much bigger than a bath mat but I'd rather someone that knows what they were doing does it than me.

    My fallow was a large winter coat doe and the cost was $195.00 so I imagine your whitetail would be less than that.

    I've used him a few times and dropping a tahr skin in Tomorrow. Good guy ole Barry. Had a head to deal with that I shot and came out to the work being locked down and walked me through how to keep the head sweet for a euro without any gear in a little shit townhouse.
