Thread: Taxidermy/tanning for beginners

Skin it off carefully to avoid putting holes in the hide. Angle your knife so stray cuts ge into the meat, not the hide. Let the hide cool, use plain salt, not iodised salt if staying in the bush for a while. To pack it out fold it skin on skin, fur on fur when you fold it/roll it up, try to avoid getting salt onto the hair/fur side of the pelt.
