Put my number in your cell phone to ask questions when you get that trophy animal this hunting season.
Field Care Suggestions:
Small Mammals
Animals, coyote sized or smaller, should not be skinned unless by a professional. Do not gut the animal. Small mammals, especially carnivores, will spoil quickly because of their thin hide and bacteria. If you can not take the animal immediately to a taxidermist, cool the body as soon as possible. Wrap in plastic bag and cover with ice, if you do not have access to a freezer. Be careful of rabies in these smaller games. Take proper precautions when when handling your game. |
Birds
Do not gut the bird. Rinse off and blood on the feathers with water. Take the bird immediately to you taxidermist or freeze it. Again, if you do not have access to a freezer, place the bird in a plastic bag. Cover with ice as soon as possible. Careful not to damage the feathers in the bag, including the tail. If the bird's tail feathers do not fit in the bag do not bend them. Let the tail stick out of the bag and tie the bag loosely. |
