SNIP
Not being too bright, or too likely to plan ahea
d, I didn't give any pre-thought to how to turn a dead snipe into tying
material :-(

I'm leaning towards skinning them, coating the meat side with borax and
letting them dry someplace ... is this anywhere close to the right
procedure?

Pointers ? Tips? Comments? Helpful Advise? Attacks? ( so the RD
Wolfenberry AbUseNet Club can feel included ;-)

Larry ( who is off to look for a scalpel or X-acto knife or single edged
razor, or moderately sharp Swiss Army tool, to start the skinning )


Yep. Clip the wings close to the body, and borax the knuckles. skin the
birds, remove all meat etc, and borax the skins When the skin no longer wets
the borax, wash the lot, skin and wings in warm soapy water, rinse
thoroughly, and allow to dry thoroughly. Place in the freezer for at least
three days. Add moth crystals before final storage in zip loc bags or
similar.

That was it.
