I shot my first deer last fall and I left the deer hide out on the ranch. I didn't know how to do anything with the hide so it was out there for 5 months. I went and picked it up recently because I wanted to make it a rug or something. It is currently soaking in some dawn dish soap and water but it smells pretty bad and I don't know what to do next. Its my first time doing anything like this so I dont have high expectations. Anything I can do or any recommendations?
