Hey Mitch,

Check this out. Google is your friend.

Last few years I was on the hunt for the same thing. There's one in Rockwood (White's tannery) that does them but I believe you have to deliver your hide in person. Too far for me.

I ended up giving a fresh buck hide to a local taxidermist who sent it away to Montreal (?) for tanning. Big difference between hair-on and hair-off tanning by the way, Remember to ask.

For the $110 it cost me, I wasn't very impressed; uneven thickness, full of tear holes, grainy finish. You can buy a fully tanned deer hide at any local leather craft store for way less, although, I don't think they have coyote.

Also you can buy home tanning kits at trappers warehouse.

Good luck with your project.
