Check with a local taxidermist. Both of them near me ship all hides out to be soft tanned, the last coyote I had done was a little over $50 including shipping.
Going to have my wifes elk hide tanned, hair on like she wants, anyone can recommend a good tanner, reasonably priced also?

go to Taxidermy.net They have a listing for tanners for the whole country. Elk hide is heavy so try to find one near you so you don't have to ship it as far or at all.
I took the hide from a Sika doe I took yesterday and have already called a taxidermist . Think he told me $75 whch sounds about right as I had one done a few years ago for about $60 or $65 .
I agree with Hitman. You can browse Taxwdermy.net, in this site you can be guided for a good tanner. I have never been experience yet the tanning hides but I think it could be helps you.
tandy leather sells a kit for a hair on tan iirc~$35
