So I shot a wolf yesterday and need advice on prepping it.
Here is what I have done so far.
-Shot wolf yesterday after noon, -3 degrees. packed it out and got half way done skinning it before it go too dark.
-finished skinning this this morning except for the feet which took me until this afternoon
- I washed it the best I could to get all the blood out.
-It's drip drying in my garage right now.
I called a few taxidermists but haven't gotten a response yet. I either want a rug or some kind of mount depending of how well I prepped it.
I don't have any salt and wont have access to salt for another 2 days.
Should I roll it up and put it in the freezer while still wet/damp.
continue letting it dry out? cooler the better or use some heat to dry it faster?
inside out, or fur side out?
I really don't want it to spoil. Temp is about +5 now. Any advice you can give me would be great. Google search has mixed advice.
