    Not a good time of year to get a tail in top condition! One way to preserve a tail is to skin it, flesh it, and dry it on a board! I've done this with mink pelts, and it's fairly easy!

    A fella I know told me if I cut around it and just pull it it'll come off but would I have to turn it inside out to get off the flesh from inside?
    Thanks for your reply
