How does one keep a raccoon tail?

Well, You just need to get the tail started by skinning it down at least 2" but don't cut the tail bone off the body you will need it to pull the tail bone out of the tail skin. Then you will have to perserve the skin by dry preserve or tan it. Then you will need to put a rode or I use a close hanger if you want a stiff tail, or you can order a coon tail form from a taxidermy suplie compeny.

 

why would you use DP .. DP would make it stiff ..... but any whoo .. pull the tail bone .out of the tail and send and give it to a taxidermist to tan or get a tanning kit

 

Im with brushwolf... Have it tanned.. You cant wear a Dp'ed coon or it would be really stiff and also if it gets wet it will rehydrate..
Dry tan it and make a nice cap out of it

 

Brushwolf, he did say he did not know what his son wanted to do with the tail, so you could DP it and put a form in it to have a stiff tail mount. And I also said or you could tan the tail, You should read fourwheelhorseman's post better befor you down talk some one else's replies.

 

??? im not down talking you ...never heard of some 1 wanting a tail mount..even then tanning it would be best

 

Well now you have, you learn some thing new every day don't you? You can read where I said or you could tan the tail to? You said nothing diffrent from what I said, You just need to take more time when you read some thing before you come out like a hot head you will learn more.
