Im doing a Squirrel tail mount. Is there meat in the tail I need to take out and how do recomend puting the tails on the wood (pine)?

if you haven't already cut the tail off,take two nails and put one on each side of the bone and lay them between your fingers and pull toward the tip.the bone and all the meat will pull right out.
then you can mt. it any way you want.

Is there a way other than staple? I want it to look a good as possible.

I have stripped a bunch to mt the whole animal,but just the tail , I haven't and don't know how you would do it rather than just staple the end to the board.

you may put tion a tail form and put it up like on the squirrels back????????????
