i had a guy bring me a fox that he had shot like less than an hour before that, and i skinned it out but didnt turn anything and left the feet from the elbow down in, i then froze it, i now am ready to take it out and work on it, can i thaw it in a pickle bath, and then take it out and remove the legs tail and turn everything, or should i work on it while it is in the pickle, then should i remove it salt it and put in the pickle for a few days, then neutralize and tan, my goal is to keep this fox from slipping.
