Skinning an animal takes additional time for our staff, therefore, we do charge additional fees that range from $50-$125 depending upon the species of the animal received.


Animals received with the hide on will be inspected for further damage, etc. after the hide has been removed.  This inspection may lower your yield as we may discover damage to the carcass that was unseen during intake.  You will be notified on any changes to your order or additional costs.
