Witton You should have boned the tail when it was on the fox mate, its a hell of alot easier. When on the fox all you do is cut round the skin and take 2 sticks and grip the base of the tail inbetween the sticksand pull, it comes of a treat. Try it on the next one. Maybe try securing a small part of the boney bit sticking out the base of the tail in a vice or something and try it with the sticks. H&J Quote Link to post
