RE: got my first squirrel, preserving the tail?
Congrats on him. They're fun, ain't they? I thought they would be dull to hunt but they're extremely fun.
I just dry the tails out for about a week or so. Make sure they dry straight. I don't know if that's the correctway to dothem but that's how I do it. I know that some people split the tails butI don't think it's necessary. Good luck and happy hunting.
