Hi, I have a jackrabbit in the freezer that I shot this winter, soon I am going to thaw it out and mount it. I was wondering what the best way to preserve it would be. Also i read something about using denatured alcohol to loosen the membrane, and any tricks for turning the ears? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

best way to preserve a jack rabbit would be with potatos and carrots, put in a jar, then preasure cook.
good one
If it was me. Rabbits have such thin skin I would try and tighten it up by using a pickle the salt in the pickle should do the job. Then I would tan with liqua tan or any other. Or soak it in an alum tan. Jack F
