Default Messed up my first coyote taking attempt

Hey guys,

This seems like the appropriate forum to ask this on;

I shot my first coyote back in November. Always wanted to tan for a wall hanger. Made a real mess of skinning it, so I didn't wanna pay the money to have it professionally tanned.

I salted it, fleshed it real good, pickled it with alum, then I used the orange bottle stuff. It's been drying for months now and it is still supple and feels kinda greasy to touch. The fur side looks good, I gave it a good brushing and it's holding, I just need the skin side to toughen upa bit.

Can I start over? Wash it, pickle it and tan it again?

You guys are probably sick of giving noobs advice about this, bit any info is greatly appreciated

Max
