Additional Field Care and Prep

We encourage you to do your own skinning to prevent additional charges (skinning and fleshing services are higher this year). We try to avoid extra fees, but it is imperative that the skins and skulls go to our tanners and skull bleachers in the best possible condition. In addition, poor field preparation can result in unusable skins. So, take ample cape, don’t cut it too short. Keep it cool to prevent rotting and slippage later. Antelope are especially susceptible to these issues. However, if the field prep is not something you are comfortable with, we will take care of you. Please keep in mind we DO NOT accept skulls with brain matter, due to potentially spreading a wasting disease.

Note: When skinning, it’s always best to have more skin than you think you need. Please consider the damage done to the skin during the preservation process, either bullet or knife holes. You will want to act fast during the preservation process and keep your trophy cool and away from water.
