Last question......TIL the next one.

I’m going to be putting up this wolf pretty quick if I want to get it in by March 25. It’s been in a freezer for three months and I expect the ears, lips, etc to be dried out. I talked to one fella that knows his stuff and he suggested immersing the head in salt water to rehydrate like you would for tanning pelts. I’m wondering how this’ll work considering that it’ll be unskinned and the water would have to be absorbed though the skin for the ears. Has anyone encountered this before and have any other ideas (ie. injecting salt water with a hypodermic needle?).

I’d rather this wolf go to auction complete but i’ll Get it tanned for a wall hanger if things don’t work out.
