Folks,
I have acquired a whole whitetail deer hide and am going to dry it out after some scraping to clean off the tallow etc.

I've done some small drying jobs on squirrels, moles, a few birds etc but never something as large as this.

I'm looking for suggestions from anyone who has also done this....How did you go about it? Did you cut it into a few (4-5) pieces and nail it down and then sprinkle on the Borax/salt? Did you cut it up and wash the hide before stretching her out?

I'm looking forward to lots of bass bug tying this winter,Dahlberg Divers etc.

Any suggestions will be welcomed.

Thank you,

Jeremy.
