Sorry for the delay. Tried my hand at putting up some coyote fur. As I stated before, I didn't do too well on the face and the left shoulder was destroyed by the hot 75g Hornandy Black. I have now acquired some 55g VMAX which I believe would be more friendly and better suited to my barrel's twist (1:9 RH).
Lessons learned:
1. I could probably used a better fleshing knife as one of u stated. I felt I could've done a better job with a more quality knife.
2. I need to sew my holes which you guys have mentioned. I felt I wasn't going to sell this one so was just curious If I could and would be interested and putting up more fur.
3. Shot placement and ammunition choice is key. The round I used was too hot in my opinion and destroyed the shoulder which is why I had to cut the arms short when I put the fur up.
4. After reading info on NAFA as one of you suggested, I didn't remove the ear cartridge to their standards.
Lots of good info from you guys which will be implemented. I just may try my hand at tanning this practice pelt for future knowledge.
Well here she goes. Not too bad for my first time. Thanks for all the advice. I look forward to my next one.
