>>859118I started on roadkill, only in the winter months though. Lets you learn how to cut/skin properly, and I liked how I got to know how a certain animals body is put together.
(raccoons have some massive jaw muscles)
I've done Deer/Opossum/Raccoons/Foxes/all kinds of snakes(only summer animal I would work).
All in all, I had fun, made a little cash, and learned something about animals that you just don't get from tv or books. I felt more connected when I went hunting for the first time, got to use almost everything but a few of the bones.
Idk what it's called when you boil the skeleton and wire it back together, but that's what I'm planing on doing next.
