I have a Red Fox in the freezer and want to have it skinned and tanned by someone here in Middle TN.
Any recommendations?

I'm on the road right now but my taxidermist charges $160 for skinning, prep and he sends it off for a soft tan. He has some in his studio on show. Charges $160. Will find his name and number when I get home you're interested.

Save yourself a lot of money and skin it and flesh it yourself then send it to a tannery. I don't mean to come across like a know it all, but I've put up fur for a long time now and a fox is one of the easiest animals to skin and finish out there is not a lot of fat on one . There is several videos on how to do it if you have any questions you can shoot me a p.m . As far as tannery I know of 3 good ones that range from $30.00 to $22.00 to tan a fox pelt .
Trapper's way would be the way to go if you are taking any amount of fur 
. For just my one fox and bobcat I decided to pay and let an "expert" do it for me. I didn't want to screw it up. If I were taking more than one, I would definitely learn how to skin, flesh, split the tail and salt the hide myself then send it to a tanner :).
