Hello zcurtis.
That's about all you have to do to a piece of deer hide to keep it. A heavy salting will even work, but I use borax. The skin will get really hard but the hair stays as it was in life. The hair is great for bass bugs, muddlers etc. The hair has a natural bouyancy for dry flies.

Good luck and congrats on the muley
