No one forces you to continue doing business with anyone you've had a bad experience with. These posts typically say much more about the user than the business itself. If any of you would like to share with the rest of us on how you run your successful high volume/low cost operations with us, we would surely love to hear it gentleman.

I guess the hide was frozen and not salted, although at 5 pounds of hide total for a wolf that weighed 100 pounds on a scale there couldn’t have been too mush fleshing to do. So there was a salting and fleshing fee charged, which brought the cost up to $467.22
Since we're talking now I also had a bison done for a client. The cost for that seemed to fall in line with the outrageous wolf price but apparently that’s the cost of doing business. I guarantee none will ever go your way again
Shoulder mount cape tanning (it had to be fleshed and salted ) $1478
Back skin with tail (it had to be fleshed and salted ) $828
Just over $2300 to tan one bison that was off the skull with lips, ears, and nose done.
Hard to believe you can keep the lights on at those prices !
