weasel tanning source

I have a pile of weasel hides I would like to send out to get tanned. they have been fleshed, stretched and dried. we are looking to tan and hang up in our hunting shack. I have around 20 with more hopefully to come. I have been told over $20 per. I live in central mn. anyone have an affordable source I could Send them to for tanning. thanks for your advice

$20 for a weasel is rough! If you lived closer to me I’d tan them all for $100 Canadian. That’s about $78US

You could send them to Sleepy Creek Tannery in Wellsburg, IA. Will cost you $11/weasel for up to 20, 21+ and the price drops to $10/each.

$20! Moyles will do them for about $6 apiece if you have over 20. You will have to pay shipping and be willing to wait. I don't know about shipping fur across into Canada but if you can it will be hard to beat Jurassic's offer even with the extra shipping cost. May also come back faster than a commercial tannery.

Ever think of trying to tan them yourself? They are probably the easiest skin to do at home. I dont think its worth paying someone else to tan weasels unless you are selling them by the hundreds

Send them to moyles. I've tanned them myself and can't get them as bright white as Moyles gets them. There may be some wiz bang tanning solution / method out there that I should try but I'm done fiddling with home tanning weasels. Just send to Moyles and they send em back done right. Hope my opinion helps ya

I would do some serious research before shipping your ermine (or any fur beaver) across the border to Canada.

Licenses and permits are needed. And they aren't free. Yes, it is possible to just put them in an envelope, make up something for the customs tag and send them off. Folks do it all the time. BUT, if you get caught, you will lose the pelts plus get fined. Not worth the risk, IMO

Maybe try Spooner, Wi's Great Northern Fur.
Shipping costs might be favorable.

Tan them yourself,they are the easiest pelts to tan.Do one or two to get the hang of it then do the rest.Good market for tanned weasels,and good profit if you tan yourself.Take a bunch to any native pow wow,I guarantee you will sell them all.
