Working with skins from hunters is a dirty job. Fullas and fullesses please get as much of the meat and fat off the skins.The taxidermist job is hard enough to put together your trophy with the skin and head if it is not prepared in the bush properley.Keep them clean!
@linyera would have some good tips
It not always has the necessary time in the field to work well skin ...the ideal is to remove the animal with the greatest possible neatness , remove as much meat and fat as possible .After stretching the skin on a flat surface and finish removing all remaining debris .After removing all the remains, it is best to immerse the skin for 24 hours in water with white soap and disinfectant .Then take it out and let it dry and lead to a freezer or cover it with salt
Isint that your job Dundee?Quote:

But cleaning the skin is what we pay the taxidermist for mate.
That's like asking the cows not to poo in the cowshed mate....,try head skinning a clients head at 1130 at night with a torch going flat fast.....

Exactly. I hunt with a bloke that sends 99% of animals harvested to several different taxidermists all year round.Quote:

It is also my opinion by removing all the meat and fat without a great deal of care, it is a likely time that irreversable damage can be done to the headskin.
Best leave it to the experts I reckon.

as r93 said, i figure it is better to leave a bit of meat on than cut a hole through the skin which the taxidermist then has to patch up anyway
Head skins are expensive for a reason aye!Quote:

If I bought you one to do Dundee you'd be lucky if I gutted it :D
