I used USA Foxx once, and never again.

Moyle's has always treated me well. Yes, shipping is a bit pricey, but the quality is excellent.

First off congrats to them! I’m a teensy bit jealous. I only have done a small amount of trapping and I sent mine to moyle mink tannery. Excellent turnaround time and I think the cost is fair! I caught a coon with a piebald face and wanted it as a keepsake and I got it back no problem

Moyle and Sleepy creek are both awesome.

Since your in PA, leo at Z & L furs in Newark would be your best bet.

Kirby Creek will do them in Wyoming.
We use Moyles but might try Kirby Creek for better hides we don't want lost- never had an issue with Moyle's though.

I’ve used Moyles for over 15 years. Great quality finished product.

For those of you that haven’t heard - Tubari in NJ is closed (hopefully temporarily) while they look for a new location for their tannery. They are not accepting pelts until March at the l earliest.

This put put increased pressure on other tanneries, so you can expect longer turnaround times. Just a fact of life.

Don't be afraid to spend a bit more on shipping to assure you get a good quality tan. NOT pleased with Sleepy Creek after using them, they where in Speedy Delivery zone. They over shaved some of my beaver hides and you can see the roots of the hair on the back side. Not good for garment but maybe as a wall hanger. They've offered to tan some replacement beaver for me for a blanket I'm doing but now I need to catch and match the size and colors again. Minnesota Trappers Assoc. will be using Yotes to Coats here in MN. Seen their work and it looks good. I will be using Moyle's or Yotes to Coats for from now on.

I've used Moyles for years and they do a fantastic job. I tried another tannery this year that was closer to me and was very disappointed in what was sent back to me. I'll pay the extra shipping and the couple dollars extra for tanning at Moyles.


57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.
