On a squirrel do you have to tan the hide?
or as it dries doesnt the hair lock in place?

Yes to #1
Yes to #2, but so does a roadkill. If you want the squirrel to look like a roadkill, you can try #2.

Is it just me? Or

I guess you're one of them. Had I told him anything else, some of you would have bitched about that as well. I notice no one else offered to answer at all.

to all the info in the archives. Taxidermy is like anything else you can only get out what you put in. No leg work you only have one opinion. George wasnt messing with anyone he answered the question.
With no candy coating, lol. Got to love the people that want everything on a platter for them. The archives are there use them and have multiple opinions. As far as tanning a squirrel dp it and move on.
If you think its going to take you 6 hours to mount it well then maybe you should tan it. See its all personal preference.
