US tannery?

[dailordasailor]

shot my first bobcat and had it proper skinned by a local trapper who sells fur. He recommended a tannery in New Hampshire but wanted to see if any other recommendatuons. I live in South Carolina but if mailing I don't really care what state it goes too.

Thanks

I have used Yost Fur Dressing in Wisconsin:

Their work was superb and they were transparent in their pricing.

Not sure the two taxidermists I have used here both sent everything to PA. I sent my Africa game to Dennis at Artistry of Wildlife I would ask him who to use.

wildlife gallery in Michigan does a really good job and a lot of taxidermist use them including Artistry of Wildlife. did a bobcat for a friend of mine and it was fine.

You might want to stay in state as I know at least here in Texas if I send a bobcat out of state I have to have the CITIES tag and permit with it to be legal. I'm not saying people dont do it, but I was told that's how I had to legally do it. I can get a CITIES permit from my local wildlife office relatively easily but it's still a pain.

in SC you have to have Cities tag to turn over posession (to guy who skinned it) so i already have the cities tag. The only place i know of in south carolina i have been told by many how crappy the service is

I live in Nigeria and some of the time Louisiana, so naturally I send my stuff to a tannery and taxidermist in Montana.

I've used Quality Tan in Great Falls, Montana and Wildlife Artistry (http://wildlifeartistrymt.com/) of Livingston, Montana for taxidermy.

The wildlife gallery does my tanning for my shop. They do a good job.

I'm pretty sure there is a tannery in Raleigh, NC, but could be thinking wrong

Carolina Fur Dressing is your best bet. They are in Raleigh but I am fairly certain that you will have to go through a licensed and certified taxidermist to get to them. I have two very good local taxidermist that both use them exclusively.

i'll be calling around shortly. Carolina fur does appear to require a taxidermist to be involved which I imagine any local taxi would want a broker fee or something similar. I have one local guy I've used I will give a call and see what he says about them.

I have used the tannery in Denton Texas for several hides and have always been Happy with both the price and the quality of work.
