need some HELP

Of course you can skin, flesh, wash, rinse, and re-freeze. Just add water in a freezer bag, and allow to freeze. Pull it out, thaw, dry, and you're redy to mount. Actually most people do it this exact way.

Basically at any point you can do this. Actually a semi dry skin can go in the freezer to be thoroughly dried the following day and then mounted. Just place a wet paper towel skin side and put in a freezer bag.

No better way to learn in my opinion, on how to make a body. You will have the carcass right there. I say give it a whirl. Even if that means re-shaping a larger mannikin to suit your needs.

 

Being part time I mount all my birds in stages, the next to last stage includes me washing and drying the bird after which I place it in the freezer. As long as I get to it within a couple weeks I've had no problem with freezer burn.

 

A teal is the perfect size duck to learn how to wrap a body for if you ever wanted too wrap a body its really not that hard

 

Grab a junk deer form and cut a chunk out. Carve the body.
