Your Own Squirrel Pelt - The Envy Of The Neighborhood

Step 8 Enjoy

You should now have a nice little squirrel pelt to call your own. Use it how you see fit. I use mine to display items I have liberated in my travels around the world.

This may not be the fastest way to do this, but as I have never seen a site with directions on how to do this I figured what the heck as it is how I go about it and I know it works.

As it is my first tutorial go ahead and flame it as you see fit.

He makes it look easy. I tried it and ended up with a mess.

[bleary2]

what did you do to make a mess?

I have one squirrel hide,
one coyote tail,
one turkey skull
two turkey wings,
two pheasant wings
and one pheasant tail...
hmm no mess

[dklassen]

you are my kinda guy, I just ripped the skin off and am in the salting process. i plan to tan it after. just dont upload the pictures of your "human skinning" tutorial. you might get arrested this time.

[matt_and_nick]

what if you have a cadaver in school?

[meralgia]

you never really mentioned what to do with the head. dunk that in salt too?? remove the brain?

I did this once and had great success... Although the second time left me with a little bit of a mess on my hands... Be very careful not to pierce the lining around the organs or they'll spit out and smell terrible

[volman11678]

is there a way to make the pelt flexible when you finish

[deer-slayer51]

i think this guy ROCKS!!! he is the only guy that has a video like this exept 4 1 other guy but he only teaches the tanning part not the skinning and i needed to learn how to anyway because im going squirrel hunting sept 1 08 and 2day is august 21 so thanks a lot guy who just taught me and hundreds of others how to do this process.

I joined to remind people that skills like this are why we as humans have survived... If you have a problem with that, then you should go on living your life as a sheep (in a nice way). Let's hope you never have to do without the luxury of a supermarket, for you would surely starve. Thanks for the awesomeness, BoTz

can you then tan the pelt or would you need to do that before it gets all hard? my girlfriends pet chinchilla died and she was devistated and she asked me to skin it because she knows ive skinned squarells that ive shot.
