Ain't that bad.

 

A mate that shoots foxes on the farm I rat on got me one for skinning. Really not that bad. When it comes to poo though....I can't help but to gag like a wuss. So that part was minging and yes I did vomit :-( the same of it! However, I vomit at our dog's poo! So no real surprise there.

 

As for the glands and smell. This one was a big dog fox. Balls bigger than mine. As for scent...where are you getting the foxes from? If it's from a chicken farm, the smell of the chickens is worse (might be why I coped so well with the smell), but really it wasn't that bad.

 

Try skinning it in a smelly place that you're already used to. That way the smells will merge.

 

But to be fair, just skin it and find out what works. Suck it up and have a go. It's probably not as bad as you think. If you're that scared, skin it outside, or open loads of windows and doors and make sure there is good air flow. Problem solved.
