Hides are sold by every processor however they can’t be sold if they are missing hair. They also are only worth about $4. Never have we charged the $10 fee but what it does is gets folks thinking about the potential cost in tearing up a hide.
Can’t sell the hides and then the processors have to pay to throw them away if there are drag marks and rubs. That’s the reason some charge for tore up hides.
I believe I know the whole story
would be happy to talk with ya about it anytime!
I’ll do my best to answer, first no license is required in Ohio for processing or Taxidermy. Most Taxidermy shops are housed in someone’s basement or garage, very close to their family. As for the Taxidermy studio being closed, we have 2 levels to our building. One is where the skinning, caping, and deer processing are carried on (not in the same room but on the same level, lower) The other (Upper) is a Taxidermy showroom and where the mounts are put together. The area where the mounts are put together and the showroom is closed each year during deer season. During the inspection the officer saw the complete area where ALL the skinning, caping and processing were taking place including inside walk-in coolers and freezers. Even saw all the antlers that had come in for that season. So in short the taxidermy work still comes in along with the processing and that was inspected. The “put it together” area was closed, that area was what he was unable to see. Hope this help clear some things up
