So my dad killed a prime grey fox monday morning and i skinned it and left it hang for about an hour. I fleshed it up all nice and everything and then salted it. I shook it off everyday and resalted for a total of 3 days. After this the hide was nearly completely dry. I put it on the stretcher but it didnt really stretch cuz of how dry it was. Anyways i got to the hydration process and i waited 24 hours to pull it out. I pull it out and the hair is practically falling out of the thing. This is the 2nd fox this year that ive had this problem with. I'm doing a thorough job fleshing so i know its not that. I also tanned a coyote this year and he turned out great using the exact same method. What's happening?? Im extremely frustrated right now. Thanks for the help
