Not hot and not too soapy. Dry it with a gunny sack and skin in. Fling the hide to get any more water out. Board it after you get the hair dry.

Just what I do...

When you thaw it out get the blood dried to where it is totally dry and simply comb it out using a curry comb.

Do not wash out the oils that make the fur shine. I got dinged by a buyer for shampooing coon. He could tell.

	Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

Some guys do that routinely. Just a greasy hand will do it.

Along the same lines I've got two hanging up drying now and my plan was skin this am. Wash em, hang em, board em tonight. Now I'm looking and the bellies are still wet. I've got a fan on them now. Should I stick a board in them to just spread them open for the time being and let the air circulate? What's the best way to handle that, or the best way to keep it from being a future problem? Last year I froze then scraped but I'm trying to keep ahead of it this year.
