Kcinnick Report post Posted September 30, 2012 I have been trying to get wild Louisiana Aligator for about a year now, and I found the best way to do it. BUY the dang gator straight from the hunter. Anyway, I have secured a few hides from this years season and I need to know where to send them. I know there is a place in Lafayette LA that tans them, but I want to send them to the best place I can. I am getting a hometown discount and did some bartering to get the hides, but I have to pay for tanning, any suggestions would be great. Next step is securing my own tags.

SupersonicF14 Report post Posted October 28, 2012 Hi, I have just dropped off some skins at the tannery to get tanned in Florida. I caught these alligators myself (legally-cites tags attached) There are several reputable tanneries and price can vary greatly. It takes 5-9 months till they will be returned. During that time I want to learn how to make wallets and belts. Also if anyone is wanting to barter I would be open to that. Tanned alligator for belts, wallets and purses. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
