<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We salvaged a mule deer fawn on campus recently and would like to prepare it as a study skin since it is in such good shape. It was very young, so it is quite small. We don’t have any ungulate skins apart from some old tanned hides, so
I’m not exactly sure the best way to go about this. I’m imagining doing a semi-flat skin like you would do with a raccoon or fox, with a cardboard center and some cotton wrapped around it. I’m just wondering how to handle those super long legs. Our drawers
are at least a meter in length (not sure off the top of my head).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone has small ungulate skin preps in their collections, could you send me a picture or give some pointers?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you!<o:p></o:p></p>
