Nice work. I do have a question for ya though. What's the best and I hate to say it, cheapest way to preserve a hide? I had a hog hide that I salted down with pickling salt, rolled it up and put it in the freezer and forgot bout it till my deep freeze crapped out and I threw it on the pond dam to shoot yotes off of. Well that was close to a yr ago and between the dogs and yotes pulling it around, most of the hide that didn't get eaten is still holding up. But I want to preserve my coon , beaver and nutria hides and put them on the arm rests, but I don't want a rough hide. What's the nxt best cheapest but good preserving/tanning method
