Title: Raccoon pelt
Post by: bigmountainskiercfg on December 08, 2012, 05:38:33 PM

I was thinking of having a raccoon hat made?  Do you know where one would start or about how much it cost do that?  What about just to have it as a pelt to lay over my gun table?

alright, I'll give him a call.  Thats pretty far.  I am in Omaha... but if his prices are good might be worth the hour drive.  Thanks and if anyone knows of anyone closer its appreciated.

are you wanting the skins already tanned or did you want to start from carcass?


ETA:  trapperman.com's archive has a few threads on how to make them from tanned skins.  also, people are selling them on that site.  i would check it out.

if its tanned, then i don't think so.  i think the law says or mentions "raw" pelts.  i'd ask/call Sam Wilson @ the NE G&P.

You can buy a coonskin hat on eBay with or without eyes. $50-100.
