RE: When to salt and flesh?
There are several good tanning kits available through the Fur-Fish-and Game magazine. Fox are easy to tan compared to many other furs. If you have not already done something else to the skin I would suggest that you roll it up skin side out put it in a plastic bag and freeze it till your tanning kit is in your hands. There is no real short cut to making it a quality fur you will have go step by step, fleshing , tanningoiling and breaking if you want a good looking soft fur. The breaking cannot be overdone. It is seemingly drudgery but must be done completely for best results. This includes working the tail and head right up to the nose pad. Good luck.
