I have a handful of furs I would like to get tanned and I’m looking for recommendations please let me know who you’ve tried good or bad! I should note these are my girls first fox and coon so they have sentimental value to me I dont want them to get lost or ruined any advice is greatly appreciated!

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.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

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.
