Did a forum search but only found folks looking for tanners. Anyone got a good home method for tanning a deer hide?
Thanks!

If I recall, get some plywood & stretch it out over that & heavily salt it for maybe 3-7 days, then get to work scraping all the flesh & fat off. Then you soar it in a 5 gallon bucket of water with some mixture of canning & pickling salt, alum & something else for several days. Then you let it hang dry & periodically stretch, ball up, wring out, knead, basically work it then you're done.

Friend of mine uses a pressure washer and diesel.

I hear it is a STINKY process.

Have done it several times years ago. It's a laborious task but certainly doable. There are several methods and tanning formulas, but you first need to decide if you want hair on or off (buckskin). There are lots of books and articles but I would suggest looking at YouTube videos, there are some very good one out there.

Eskimo used human urine back in the day. No prob it doesn't smell in sub zero temps. That's all I got

The old man in Montana on the mountain man show would scrape it and use a solution with deer brains to tan it
