Jim, Without seeing the ear I would say just turn the ear out as normal. If you use ear liners, fit the liner to the ear and then cut out a matching hole just a bit larger than the actual hole (so the front and back hole edges will come together). Glue up the liner as usual and probably use a couple of staples to hold till adhesive sets. If you bondo ears I would make a temporary patch for the hole then bondo as usual, pressing the hole area flat at the hole edge. After setting remove the patch. There are other ways for sure but that's what make this taxidermy stuff so much fun- enjoy, Aaron H.
Instead of trying to keep the hole intact, slice through it so that the ear can be opened all the way. The edges of the whole can be rebuilt with Magic Sculpt later.
