Hey guys,
Made a few stnds sunday with no yotes to come in, since I was carrying my rimfire gun I decided to take a few squirrels and make a decoy for the next yote hunt.
Nothing life like just enough fur to help keep the eyes of a weary yote on the "prey" rather than my calling position.
Question? 2 squirrel hides have ben skinned, fleshed, and are now salted and tacked to some plywood.
If all I'm goning to use them for is to wrap something of mass and create a natural fur "ball" with tails out both sides, what shoud I do to the hides next?
Any ideas on how to stich/wrap these and attach to a base or piece of utility wire to allow wind to move the decoy?
I posted this in the primitive skills section and thought I might post it here, since the hides have been salting since yesterday afternoon, and I need to know the next step to care for them.
All the other hides I've skinned (just a red fox and one yote, last year) went with the shooter and I believe he took ti to a Taxi.
Im capable, but honestly iggnorant. (and a bad speller!)
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
