Bison robe

[wytex]

Got my cow bison robe back from Moyle Mink and Tannery today and again they did a great job. Got it about 3 months before I expected it and cost is still a bargain, $432 plus shipping.
She was a 4 1/2 yr old cow taken on the NER on Wyoming tag. I'll post a pic soon.

Cool. I'd love to have one of those someday

Cool idea for sure. Hang a pic?

I have a tanned hide from the cow I shot in SD. I've long thought about turning it into a robe. Would be the ultimate in cool. For that price, I just may have to see if they can do it.

How does it smell? I sent a deer hide out and it came back so strong of chemicals we couldn't use it. Even after airing it out for years it still was too strong. I want one that we could use for a garment project.

The hide is airing out now. I should be more clear, it is a hide, robe, not a garment.
It will take a few days to air out but after that will be fine. Last years cow took about a week or 2 to air out . Now it has no chemical smell.

Gotcha....I'd like to have one, that price sounds very reasonable.

Thats cool. I would have had them trim a pair of underwear out at least... Help get the wife all wound up

FWIW, in Western MT here at the bison range they do a round up every fall. You can bid on a bison and then split the meat with guys. Every once in awhile I'll see the hide on CL for $100.

Gotcha on the robe part. I've strongly considered getting one made into a coat ala Legends of the Fall!

Mine was supposed to have a hair on garment tan done. I guess I don't really know what the difference is, I told the Taxadermy shop what I wanted and they did the rest. Shoot me a PM after you get it done and let me know how it turned out. I may try again and send one out there.

Moyle does a great job on all our tanning, furs included.

That looks good. I love the work moyles does on my critters they are top notch for sure. Did you have to flesh and Dry it or did they take it green?

 

[Bydand]

Impressive. Very nice.

 

[wytex]

We salted and dried it to send them, took only a few days to get it ready. Fleshing is the hardest part. Careful skinning in the field will reduce your fleshing time greatly.

confused. if a robe is not a garment (to be worn) what is it?

 

[Nunyacreek]

+1 on Myles Mink and Tannery, they are absolutely the cheapest and best

Make an awesome loin cloth with tanned with hair off! Great idea to tan it.

 

[wytex]

A robe is a hair on tanned, or cured, hide.

A robe is a hair on tanned, or cured, hide.

Thanks. Had not heard of that. Guess I have 2 moose robes and an elk.
