[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 4642614, member: 10019"] As for “tanned” and “green” capes. Does TWRA, or whomever wrote this, realize how many skins are traded back and forth amongst taxidermist? How does a green (raw) skin prove more dangerous than a piece of flesh concerning CWD? Even more, about 1/2 of the Taxidermist’s use dry preserve, therefore 1/2 the skins are not even tanned. Specifically, I can think of 2 Taxidermist’s in Christian County that mount hundreds of deer and those skins are not tanned. More than a few of those mounts come back to TN. This “tanning” part is truly confusing to me. Honestly, I didn’t know this part existed so I need to research it more. “Tanning” has about a dozen meanings in the taxidermy world, not to mention the countless number of skins transported across state lines via postal carries to and from tanneries/taxidermist. Besides, if formaldehyde doesn’t kill the prions how would “tanning” be effective? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
