How has their work turned out lately? Used to send to them and stopped due to long return time but the quality was always very good. Saw their ads saying 60 to 90 days now. Tried them this year with a cat and some fox. The cat and 2 fox came back with the hair on the back of an ear slipped-gone. I skinned the ears out and skinned and stretched all animals the same day they were caught. Curious if the faster return time means lower quality on the tanning now. got them back in 2 1/2 months.

I sent them some beaver and a badger. Told me 4-5 months.

I’ve been sending them stuff every year for a while now and I’ve not had any problems. I get back a good product as long as I send a good product. Ear slippage may not be their fault. Even when I think I did a great job and get a small spot without hair, I could have scraped too hard, pulled the fur ends when ripping out cartilage, etc. I sent in few mink, rats, coons, badgers, and about 20 coyotes. We’ll see. A few of the yotes were impressive. They were all nice but there were a few that were super heavy. I’ll see what the wait time is. It is out for delivery today.

Sent in beavers,skunks,rats,fox,mink last order took 2 1/2 months. Quality was exceptional on everything and no slippage but one rat that had about a two inch tear. Sent to Sleepy Creek bout 4 month ago. Called them and they said they are running about 5 months out. Sent them some coon and a few of odds and ends. First time using them and heard alot of good reviews can't wait to get them back.

no problems here with moyel's

Nothing but happy with their work your fur is handled with respect and it shows. IMO

Ears are very susceptible to slippage because they are very thin. If they slipped it's usually going to be from what happened before they got the hides.

Thank all of you for the responses. Must be my fault. Is it common for one ear on a hide to have slippage and the other to be good? Any thoughts on what I can do in the future to help with this? Thanks again for timely resonses. This was not meant to be a hit on Moyles, as I said always had good luck before. No holes as with some others. I was actually more concerned with quick skinning and drying this time as I knew I was going to tan them. This is the first time I have had ear slippage, with any tannery.

Stupid mail service is what is frustrating to me.

I sent Moyle three beaver, an otter, and a fox on April 21. USPS told me it would arrive on April 28.

LOL

It arrived yesterday...

Sometimes just the heat of your hands can cause the ears to slip when your skinning them out. Salting them or spraying some StopRot is a big help.

Could be worse, I sent two boxes and I got a panic call that got me going because they arrived seperately and couldn't find the second box

My last fur box arrived pretty close to when USPS said it would to Moyle's but wasn't received until 13 days after it arrived. I emailed them at about day 9 of waiting and they responded saying they were about 2 weeks behind in opening shipments and getting them put into the system. If it wasn't received after 14 days I was to call them back.

If I know I'm going to tan something instead of market it as dried fur, I've started just stretching everything fur in, skin out. Less maintenance and worry about areas potentially slipping. I just make sure the fur side is cleaned up and mostly dry.

I borax my head area even with cartilage removed and have never had a problem. You have to make sure that area is dry before shipping because like badgerboy14 said they may be a few days behind opening the boxes and letting your fur hang and air out
