Yes, I am aware of the legality. As long as I prove that I did not kill it or purchase it. Since it is road kill the taxidermist or tanner will verify. I've thought about calling the game warren and get a written document. I was supposed to have it to someone withing ten days, but that is only three days away and it is still frozen.
Thanks for the information about the law. Kricket

Hi, I'm Kricket, a 51 yr mom with a 11 yr old daughter who is into Civil War re-inacting. She wants to ride with the Calvary, but she has to dress as a girl when not around the horses. She does NOT have a horse and we have little $$. I found a road kill otter (hit in the head--body fine) this week and have it in the freezer. I finally found someone today who will help me skin it. I need it tanned to garmet quality. What do I do after I get it skinned??
Any body know how I can do it myself with her--to teach her how they did it in the 1800's or am I better to send it off to a garment tanner?? Sugestions??/costs??
I want to use the otter to make her a muff, collar & cuffs for her winter coat or a hat> Since it is Nov in NC (lowest temp so far 33/one night) the Taxidermist said something about the skin might not be "Blue"??
Thanks for your assistance. Enjoy your laughter while reading this.
Kricket
