Hide destroyed at tannery

[Linksman313]

What was the name of the Taxi/Tannery instead of all the cryptic talk, would like to know where NOT to take my next cape/hide?
Thanks

Exactly how was your cape ruined?...Did the hair slip ?...Did you prep the cape properly ?...Was all the ears and lips turned properly?..A warm cape put in a plastic bag would cause slippage ...How long from shooting the animal till it was brought to the taxidermist?...did the taxidermist turn the lips and ears and flesh it out?...When I sheep hunted and was back in on Aug 1st and killed my ram I did all the proper fleshing and turning myself...Hung it over a bush to air dry and hiked out the next day ...Had salt...The taxidermists kind ...fine powder and rubbed it into the cape..My taxidermist gave me a lesson and showed me how to correctly flesh a cape and skin it off the animal..Too many guys bring the whole shebang in unskinned and are asking for a ruined cape..When they first had a bison hunt in northern BC my taxidermist had about 3-4 bulls that weren't taken care off and the hair slipped on all of them..Just because its cold doesnt mean anything..A hide is a great insulator ..It keeps heat in and cold out..Bacteria can grow and bye bye hair..Might be wrong but can't see a tannery making the hair slip when he does hundreds or thousands of hides ...Hope I'm wrong but sometimes we are our worst enemy....Dennis

If you created a list of every tannery or taxidermist who had experienced a cape slipping, my guess is your choices left would be very very inexperienced choices or just extremely lucky ones. But, a guy can dream....

How was it destroyed?
Hair slipped?

You may just have to go and get another goat.

That's a shitty deal for sure but honestly other than the cost of a replacement Cape and the work of hauling it out it's still replaceable in the end and will look the same.. atleast it wasnt the horns that got ruined. Still a heart break but you will get your mount in the end. Hope it all gets sorted for ya

Thanks guys. I got the hide to the taxi within less than a week. He said it looked perfect. Damage happened at the tannery, a few other hides (other species) got damaged as well. Apparently issue in their fumigation. Tannery took responsibility as far as I was told. Some of it can be salvaged, taxi is very helpful.

Linksman313 I am not cryptic. I wanted feedback but not here to publicly ruin someone's business or blame them as it is not their direct fault.

There are more goats. I will get another one. I have my 10.5" horns and will get whatever can be salvaged from the hide.

Thanks for all feedback.

Glad to hear it wasn't your fault...Dennis
