        Hey I have a black bear skin in my freezer and need to tan it now that my finger is getting healed up. I am curious if anyone knows a less than expensive way to tan them with the hair on. It doesn’t need to be super soft. I was thinking about making a quiver out of him. Would borax work? I haven’t tanned anything in years so any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

          Tanning a black bear is not like tanning a deer hide. It has to be degreased a few times. I don’t exactly know the procedure as I’ve always paid someone to tan my bear hides.
