If you haven't already found this out...Ya want to go easy on the elk neck and shoulders when graining. You can dig right through the hide in those areas and still not get all the grain, at least on these thinner ranch elk. So, don't worry about leaving part of the grain, it'll still soften.

Took me two elk and a deer hide to make a coat...bet you'll need another one!
I'm going to be softening one of those elk hides this week, too.

kentuckybushcraft: Just found and signed up on this forum today. Experienced camper (20 yrs) and novice hunter/trapper. Did some hunting and trapping as a youth and fell out of it after high school. Goals are to harvest deer this year, elk or bear next year. Mar 5, 2014 7:40:03 GMT -5

whitedove: Welcome to this forum. There still is a lot of good information on this website. There used to be several who would sign in and visit with one another. Perhaps you may be friends with some of them. It's sad to see a good forum like this go to waste. Mar 5, 2014 11:09:56 GMT -5

whitedove: I go by the name of White Dove. I was introduced to brain tanning several years back. Still a lot to learn myself. Mar 5, 2014 11:12:45 GMT -5
