RE: How much salt??
The great thing about salt is that it is cheap. You can never put too much on , but if you don't get enough, you're kinda screwed. If you have the ability to freeze them and get them home frozen, good. But on some hunts tha is not possible. Do you have a taxidermist or are you one? The reason I ask, is some taxi's like things a certain way, check with him/ her first, they will tell you how they want it. As far as Hanging the hide, take a "lodge"pole and string it between 2 trees. After salting the hides, hang them over the pole, keep it in a shaded area with the flesh side up. The only problem is with the intended targets, bears. Hope it helps
