removing fat from lion hide

Submitted by greenhorn on 12/28/2003. ( ) 208.5.86.207

I skinned my first Mountain Lion, It turned out great, I salted it two times, and I noticed that there is a lot of fatty tisue on the tail area and the bully area? Do I need to remove this fat now or will a good degreaser remove it after its pickled? I will be letting it sit salt dryed for about four months. Any sugestions weather this is good or bad would be great.

I don`t mind leaving a little red meat but fat is one thing I always try to remove before salting...just my 2 cents...
