Canadian Trappers Talk Forum

i was wondering how to tan beaver? iam asking this because my hat is getting pretty worn out and i found a person to make a hat for me but i just need to tan the fur. i found a nice size beaver house last weekend that looked pretty promising, i was out looking for ducks and all i came across was 3 beaver swimming in the pond

Moved to tanning section

LMT,
There's a product available from a lot of trapper supply stores called "Trappers Hide Tan". It comes in an orange plastic bottle and instructions are on it. You'll need to buy the required amount of salt as well. Follow the instructions and you should get a decent result. I've done a few coyotes, foxes and an otter with the stuff.
