Tanning bears

[Gilly]

Well after a successful spring bear hunt I’ve decided it’s time to tan my own bears in house. My question is what kind of fleshing knife works best ? What pickle type tan are guys using ? These are gonna be tanned just to hang up in the trophy room. Splitting and turning everything isn’t an issue for me I’ve done lots of it but not having a wheel I’m gonna flesh em all by hand. Just looking for some suggestions for the best tools for the job to produce a good soft tan guys. So you guys that have done them what worked best for you ? I’m likely gonna end up doing a bunch of coons to for the room as well.
