Anyone have experience tanning hides, hair on or know a good tanner?

Going to have my wifes elk hide tanned, hair on like she wants, anyone can recommend a good tanner, reasonably priced also?

Check with a local taxidermist. Both of them near me ship all hides out to be soft tanned, the last coyote I had done was a little over $50 including shipping.

go to Taxidermy.net   They have a listing for tanners for the whole country.  Elk hide is heavy so try to find one near you so you don't have to ship it as far or at all.

I took the hide from a Sika doe I took yesterday and have already called a taxidermist . Think he told me $75 whch sounds about right as I had one done a few years ago for about $60 or $65 .
