Putting Up First Wolf
Next week I'll be putting up my first wolf. I know how to do it and I've done paws and split lips on different smaller species before. Doing the ears looks interesting but I'm sure that I can tackle it. What I'm wondering is if there are easier ways of doing things.
My plan is to set up a table and do the cuts on the legs and remove the paws at the ankle. I'll finish the paws once it's all skinned. While it's on the table, I'm going to skin the head so I don't screw up the lips. It might be a good idea to do the eyes at the same time but I don't know. Once that is done it's on the hoist to do the skinning. After fleshing I'll turn lips/eyes, ears and paws then it's into the wash. After turning fur out on the board, borax the paws and stuff newspaper in to shape.
Is there a better way to do things or a different sequence that would make things easier? I appreciate any and all advice.
