Ran into a small problem while trying to get a black bear hide tanned, am hoping someone can help. I harvested him up in Juneau in the spring, salted the hide heavily each day until I was able to get him into a freezer (three days). He was sent off to the tannery frozen a few days later. I just got word from the tannery that they could tan the hide because of excessive hair slippage. This is the first hide I have sent to be tanned, and my first bear. I'd like to know what I can do now to preserve the hide, if anything. It might be too late but I'd like to be able to keep it for years to come. Appreciate any input.
