I'm thinking of tanning it myself. From what I can tell on the internet, it doesn't look any diiferent than a a deer hide using a Lutan kit. I've done several deer hides myself and they came out great. It's a lot of work but I enjoyed it. I'm just trying to decide if I want to skin it for the leather or skin it with the scutes out (horn back) for a display.

My brother and I got skunked last year at JD Murphree, but it was probably one of the best memories him and I will have together. Really we were just unlucky, almost everyone got at least one gator. Bring your fishing poles too. Set your lines then fish. I got on a nice red and my brother landed an alligator gar. The area out there is amazing.
