I'm an inexperienced hunter, and had never skinned an animal.
Hoping for a mule deer or elk this year. In the meantime, I went rabbit hunting ...
I learned the skin comes off relatively easily, as I pull gently, and sever the membranes that attach it to the body. However, I tore the skin. And, it was a little confusing as to where to cut.
Any general advice on skinning critters? Once skinned, must the skin be immediately tanned, or can it be preserved some other way for awhile? Can something like rabbit skins be economically tanned by taxidermists, for possible use as a 'blanket'?
Thought I would learn a bit on rabbits, and work my way up ...
Thanks for your advice.
Regards from AZ
