My question is what is your guys process on the washing and tumbling? This will be for coyote, fox and cats. The one that makes the most sense to me would be 1) Flesh 2) Wash 3) Tumble 4) Board. I've also seen to tumble after the initial skin out drying period once you turn them fur side out. I would just be nervous of possibly splitting them? Just curious what you guys found to be the best process to take!

I had the wife talked into letting me with a couple of my cats but I couldn't bring myself to do it.... figured I'd probably better wait just in case
