Will a #11 DLS hold a red fox?

X2 on the gift cards. Wife had one for $500. she had it for awhile and we went to buy a washing machine and when they ran the card there was a balance under $1.00 left on it. I had one for $200 laying at home that I'd had for a longtime and after that I got it and went to make a purchase and only had about $30 bucks or so left. Both of us had gotten them from our employers and of course we paid tax on them as part of our income. I called on mine and all the purchases had been made on the same day in small amounts, of course there was nothing they could do about it. If caught stealing credit card information they should get their primary hand cut off and cut their opposite eye out and tell them to have a nice life. Mean way to feel yup, justified yup.

definetely clean out the neosprin and wash the snot outta that scratch with betadie, then chlorhexadine gluconate(Hibiclens). Like Mr. Jameson said, that thing can get funky in very short order.

I have XL beaver tails for leather work as well as average-sized tails that could be used for oil. No kits. $2-5 each. Price depends on tail size and quantity:

Doesn't Ohio have fraud problems?? Do you really think the democrats will remove property tax…..i doubt it!

We should be a few weeks after peak coyote breeding right now. Didn't see any fresh coyote sign this morning. Caught 1 possum and another otter. These coyotes are simply not on this stretch along the Alapaha River.

I had that dang flu the 1st two weeks of January. Only 2nd time in my life that I had that...I can recall. I didn’t wander far from the bed or the couch for 14 days.

Hope you get over that crap quickly.

We have a large depot in Greensboro. Every tanker gets their gas from that depot.

Both Hanson and Sowell have reported that some outfit has created AI videos of them. The AI versions are pretty good but there is a disclaimer that flashes onscreen at the beginning that is visible for a fraction of a second. If you're quick enough to freeze it you can the read the disclaimer.

In the fakes of Hanson it is pretty obvious that something just "isn't right". He moves a lot..........uncharacteristically...and uses his hands far more than in the real thing.

Just a heads up to be aware of.

I've used Boco's tanning method several times now for Beaver. The smaller hides turned out great. Had some issues with the larger hides. I posed some questions about alum tanning on a taxidermy site, and they gave me some recommendations (basically tweaks to Boco's method) that have worked out for me.

Tweaks:
. Instead of 1lb of Alum to 1Gal water. I'm using 8oz Alum + 8oz Salt / Gallon.
. Add skins at the lower PH, which allows the Alum to penetrate deeply into the hide.
. After a few hours add washing soda to raise the PH and set the Alum. Not mixed with water.


Here is where I'm at with this method: (Based on 5 L/XL Beaver pelts at a time)

Out of the pickle let them hang for 20min and wring them out. You don't want the hides to be filled with pickle. Like a squeezed out sponge.
8 Gallons water. 4lbs Aluminum Sulphate 4lbs Salt (based on the salt you use this is about 8 cups for me). Mix well
Add skins. Don't over crowd. Should be somewhat floating.
After 2 or 3 hours. I pull/drain/ring the hides over the solution and set aside.
Add the washing soda (not mixed with water), little at a time until the PH reaches 4. For me and my water I'm at around 16oz. This part takes awhile. If you add too much at one time the foam on top is thick. I'll leave it sit till the foam settles so I can get a proper ph reading.
Add skins back in one at a time.
Leave them sit for 4 days, checking PH at least once a day. My issue, is that after the first day the PH has dropped a bit. So I need to add more washing soda.
Pull them and give them a good RINSE. Don't need soap. Cool water. Need to wash all of the Alum out of the hair. If you don't, after they are fully dry they will emit dust clouds of alum.

If they still emit dust clouds, I'll hang them, reverse the hose on my shop vac and blow them completely out.

I've been having really good results. They come out pretty soft after oiling and stretching. The bigger ones I do put a sander to after they are fleshed, stretched and dried. Before I tan them.

Shout out to Boco. Thank You for sharing your knowledge.

If it’s got a beard it’s legal in many states. Any states its not allowed that would be interesting to hear about.

Yes I do most of the time. Maybe for a bit of backing and subtle blocking.
