Pelts

[myersbg 1,385]

After the visit to the trappers convention last year i decided i was going to start putting up some fur, i have made a few cockups on some but a few have turned out quite well, in my humble opinion. This topic should maybe have gone in the tanning and taxidermy section but all of the critters were taken by trapping, snaring or pest control, please feel free to tell me what you think, [As i know you will ]

Great job done on those pelts. Did you just dry them on boards, or are they cured?

I have shifted 2 fox pelts, and am working on a possibility of moving a few more, but i am keeping that under my hat for the time-being.

Google snowdonia taxidermy supplies white tan kit and click on the one with (PDF) written beside it and it gives full instructions for dummies. Seems easy enough if the skinning and fleshing is done right
