Hunters, Hopefully, I will be able to kill a Colorado bear this muzzle loader season hunting close to Montrose, CO. Would any of you locals know of a professional that I could hire to tan a bear hide for me? Will be driving home on Highway 50 (Colorado 50) and will go east to Colorado Springs. I wish to leave the hide in Colorado for tanning and have it shipped to me later upon completion. I am hopeful of killing a bear---if anyone knows of a tannery or a home business that does this line of work, please give me their email address, webpage, or telephone numbers. Thanks in advance, Cowtag Chuck Richey (southern Illinois)
