There are some true artists with fur on this site who would have added a lot more pins in the tail and probably squared up the bottom edges but at today's prices I got them done as quick as I could without all the extra time invested. When they were hundred bucks plus I pleated the tails and used lot more pins.

I hang pelt from the nose and start skinning the foot then grab with vise grips. You'd be amazed at how much it spreads the toes when you clamp the visegrips on making it much easier to do individual toes. I use this method on all animals I skin with the feet on.
