    Colorado Weather Vs Wildlife

    Only salt after the fat and meat have been removed and eyes,ears,lips and nose have been turned and split. Salt will not penetrate fat. Eyes and nose can be turned at the tannery after they rehydrate. The ears should be turned at the very least with the fat and meat removal before the salt.

    I have not tried stop rot as a salt replacement. It is truly a marvelous product. I would try it on a small skin and see how the finished product looked and felt. If you are doing your own tanning watch the p.h. and see if it affects that. The draw back might be it will add weight to the skin...

    how to euro and aoudad??

    You can try soaking in water (horn submersion) for a hour then bag in a trash bag. Let it sit for a couple of days and knock them off with a rubber mallet. May take longer to rot off if the cores are really dry. In the future do the horn rotting first.
