Tomm Parr 30 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 A couple of weeks ago, my father-in-law killed the fox that had decapitated all but one of his fowl. He has cut off the brush because he wants to turn it into oversized keyring (each to their own !?!). He asked me how he could cure/preserve it before he does so, as it smells already. I don't have a clue and wonder if anyone else does..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
