Still mountable-just a little more work

Redneck, I think it's still doable. The ear can be a challenge but you can open it by being patient and very careful. I have opened them to the end using the point of a large needle to scratch the tissue and seperate the ear. The fox ear is a little too fragile to force open if it is a little dried out but careful cutting will work.If that ear is too dry then you can sometimes inject a little water with needle and syringe into the area you want to open and soften it right up. As for the tail I would mount the fox with it's "half-tail" and then add the end of the tail to the mount. Slide the tail piece into proper position and bond it in the broken area with a little super glue. Enjoy, Aaron H.


thanks alot
