Hand held flesher

Are they a good investment for a beginner in Australia? (as in being affordable).
Also, what is the advice to give a client (my first) on care of the trophy in the feild *if they dont feel confident in caping out the head?
Do i say ... pack the cape and remains of neck with salt and get it here pronto (it would take him 1 day at least express mail)? or, freeze the whole thing in a bag if it will fit in freezer, and mail when able?

fleshing

I have a small hand held flesher (air powered). I like it for deer, but a fleshing machine would probably work better. I think they are something like $80. here in the U.S. Probably over-priced, but they work well on deer capes.

I know the climate is different in Australia, than here in the Montana. If it's warm salting a cape right away is good. So is freezing. Just don't leave it in the heat very long or bacteria will ruin it. Steve1
