I was wondering if anyone could help me out. My friend gave me a raccoon tail, off of a raccoon that he killed for meat (yes, I have redneck friends.. birds of a feather, flock together.) He salted it and removed "most of" the bone, and said "it should dry up in no time and be preserved."
I am leary though. The stump still has a "gamey" area and a very, very slight odor that resembles beef that has been left out for a few days. Nothing strong, but I just don't want this going bad; it is cool and I collect skulls, bones, etc. and other objects from nature. I have it out in my cold hallway for the time being.
Any ideas? I read to roll it around in sawdust but am not sure if this is good advice. I did an internet search but lately it seems like anything you search, you just find a million links to buy that thing..
