I recieved my axis hide back from NTT. I was very impressed with the quality, more so for 40 dollars. Crappy cell phone pics but no holes etc I head shot this doe for meat salvage and hide salvage and got what I wanted.

Very nice!
Is it for the wall or soft enough for a blanket/throw?

Is it for the wall or soft enough for a blanket/throw? Pretty soft but small in size. The doe I shot wasn't very big. My buddy who went with me on this hunt is having pillows made from his. Mine is laid over a table, looks pretty cool.

40? Wow that's a deal! I ask my taxidermist what it would cost to do a WT hide and he charges $165. Did you ship the hid to the tannery or is it close to your home?

One of my buddies that was on the axis hunt with me personally took 3 of them to NTT, so no shipping. I still think shipping would not be near as high as going to a taxi though.

I just talked to the Tannery. He said ship it frozen on a Monday via Fed Ex or UPS with your info enclosed in the box and they will call and take payment over the phone. $40 for a WT hide plus shipping to and from.

I used them for the first time, based on the recs received on this forum. Glad I listened, as I am very pleased with my axis hide. I believe I paid them $65 which included shipping back to Midland. Well worth it .

I took quite a few last year and they did a great job. About to take a mess of them back soon.

Now I feel a little foolish. I paid 200 to a taxidermist here recently and have to wait 6 months to get it.

How long does it take? Do you have to prep the hide any before you bring it to them?
