I am not an amateur taxidermist, nor do I want to become one, but I am a hunter and outdoorsman in addition to a flyfisherman, and as such I was wondering how to use the game that is harvested more fully. Specifically what needs to be done to say furbearing animals to use the fur for tying. Do you need to tan the hide or a portion of it in order to keep it, or could you shave the fur from the skin to be stored in ziplock bags (dubbing)? Would there be a specific area of the animal only that you cuold do this with? I saw somewhere a reference to "red squirrel belly fur". Is there reference material on this subject anywhere, diagrams showing areas to be harvested, etc?
