Tanning Bison Hide for Rug

[winchesterselect]

Kind of left this to last minute but I'm heading up for a bison hunt in a couple weeks and have been considering getting the hide tanned for a rug if I'm lucky enough to get one. No money for a head mount so thinking a euro for the skull and maybe a rug. So if anyone knows somewhere that tans bison hides for rugs that would be great. Would like to get an idea of price so I can decide if going to save the hide or not.

Also, if anyone know what the snow levels are like in zone A I would be interested in an update. We are trying to decide if we are taking both the sleds and quads or just the sleds.

Expect 700 to 1200 bucks for a Tanned Rug hair on depending on the size of the critter you harvest. They are a wonderful Rug. Did mine a few years ago with Pacific Fur Dressers in VancouverCT

My guy is heading up to zone b today, we've heard mixed reports as to snow, pink mountain ranch says about 1' but Sikanni River Outfitters said 5-6" although guys are still using sleds. Will be interesting to see how it goes. I can update later once I've heard from him, I realize you are going to zone a so not sure how helpful the info will be.

Call Tony at Northgate Fur Tannery in Kamloops.

For what it is worth as of this morning there is 8" of snow at Pink Mountain Rd.
