Preserving a Deer Hide by Fleshing and Salting with Callie Russell

Want to get into tanning animal skins? This is the first step - how to prepare and preserve a hide for future tanning.

In this video I show you how to preserve a deer hide by fleshing and salting it. Salting allows for long term storage with no refirgeration required. I demonstrate on a deer hide, but it is the same process for antelope, elk, moose, sheep, goats, ect.

Time to get salty!
