If you are interested in turning your Deer Hide into a Wall Hanging, there is an easy method to hard Tan the Hide yourself. This will result in a stiff tanned hide, ideal for a rug or wall hanging.

The Hard tanning method is easy and can be done at Home: First flesh the hide which involves removing the fat and meat from the flesh side of the skin. Next in a large Plastic tote container with a lid mix 2 gallons of water, one lb. of alum, ½ lb. of salt, and ¼ lb. of washing soda. Mix and add the deer hide.

Keep the deer hide submerged for a week. Then remove hide and rinse with cold water. Then mix a solution ½ LB of borax and 1 gallon of water and soak the hide for 3 to 4 days. Then rinse the hide completely with water on both sides using a hose to remove all chemicals. Spread the hide on a board.

Tack it with nails or tacks around the edges and dry the hide for two weeks in a cool dry Place. Remove the nails, and enjoy your trophy deerhide as a wall hanging or a rug.
