    Gunbroker and the $600 reporting?

    garage sales are not taxable events unless they produce a gain from sale. this would only be the case if the item had 0 value and you received anything above that. Unless you are in the "trade" of 2nd hand sales, losses from a garage sale or any others would be personal losses that would not be...

    Gunbroker and the $600 reporting?

    You cannot deduct losses on items used for your personal life. The only tax consequence where you would need proof would be a gain from sale which is highly unlikely. Everyone is getting worked up about the 600$ thing, but it is really not that important. It was created and passed to crack down...

    DIY Tanning

    This works too however it takes longer to dry than hanging. Did use this method earlier in my tanning days though and it did just fine for what i needed at the moment. Is definitely easier than making a frame and could be cheaper if you buy discount wood.

    DIY Tanning

    You can use wire hangers, i have about 10-15 in a shed rn, and they work well if you are case skinning furbearers. But you will prolly want to make your own frame if you are going to do deer. Mine is 4ft wide by 7ft tall and works for all whitetails and Sika deer as well as predators. Just...

    DIY Tanning

    You may see alum as a pickling agent online. I have linked the stuff that i have gotten the best results from below. About 12$ for a 1.5 lb bag and it will generally take you about 75-85% of a bag for a deer hide. Make sure to use it liberally and coat all exposed leather. Anthony's Premium...

    DIY Tanning

    Salting the hide is just to pull oils out of skin and kill any bacteria. I freeze mine for 1-2 weeks before fleshing which kills bacteria and then leave out overnight to thaw and begin rotting process on meat and next morning flesh immediately. Borax is better@ absorbing the oils than salt is. I...

    DIY Tanning

    This one I cut to a more symmetrical shape per the clients request, but you can also leave it in the more "natural" or "raw" shape that is formed when it is strung up and dried.The truck is a SuperCrew cab for reference.

    DIY Tanning

    Pressure washer works the best gor getting it clean. Did a Sika deer earlier this season and turned out good. You have to make sure you get the meat, fat, and connective tissue off the hide. When you do it you will see almost translucent tissue still attached and you need to spray it at an angle...

    What knives do you carry on your hunt?

    Havalon piranta + Dawson Javalina is my current set up. Have had good experiences with Buck open season series and SOG knives if you're trying to stay under 100$. Stay with fixed blades for strength.

    DIY Tanning

    Also fine to let sit out to start the rot process on fat and meat. Have gone up to 36 hours in 40-50° temp. Makes fleshing easier for both knife cuts and power washer. No hair slippage if properly fleshed afterwards. Have done this on multiple deer.

    Knife recommendations

    Keep the Havalon as your scalpel and pick up a Dawson fixed blade. Quality steel with cerakote and good sheath.
