So what do you have to do to the skins to sell em? Special way of skinning the beast or something special to do to the hides? How many can you kill in a day? I'll be using a .22 to rid the woods of several after the 1st.

You just try to skin them so that thier head and tail is still in tact. There's some kind of hide tanner you can use but I ain't real sure what the name of it is. I'm always givin' the hides I get to my coonhound pups so they can chew on em' a little.

After you get them skinned. roll them up and freeze in your freezer.(put in plastic bag) When you go to cash out, take them out the day befor to thaw.
