Bear hide tanning

[Phantom Hunter]

I posted over in the bears forum but no replies yet. IF, we are successful on our Colorado unit 61 bear hunt in Sept. Where should we take the hide for fleshing and tanning? Any recommendations for somewhere in Southwest or Southern Colorado?
Thanks

Depending what your after...say just a tanned flat hide, a lot of times it's a lot cheaper to go strait to a tannery than through a taxidermist. Most of the time they will flesh and prepare the green hide for a small additional fee.
