I kill things that want to kill my chickens.
How would you save his hide? I've never skinned anything besides deer, although I guess the process is the same. What do you do to preserver it?

Now, you get to call the conservation dept., or you can take a really, really long drive...
Outstanding skin it form the back forward almost like a dear but skin the head and all stretch over a board inside out hang it up where critters won't get at it wait about 6 weeks and it well be a nice pelt. Good luck.Originally Posted by 1911PKR

Nice, just be careful, here in North Carolina we have a very bad problem with foxes carrying rabies. As far as tanning a hide here are a couple of links to give you an idea:

As far as skinning you cut around the feet then make a slit from one back leg to the other cutting around the genitals and anus. Then carefully peel the skin off turning it inside out and place it on a stretcher in order to scrape off the fat and allow it to dry.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

Yes, raccoons are especially notorious around here for rabies and distemper. A good reason to keep my dog's up to date on their shots.
This little guy was acting like he should have been though. I saw him cross the road onto my property one night in my headlights a few weeks back, and he was trapped in the overnight hours as well. He appeared healthy and his only complaint before he met me seemed to be some fleas.
