So newsettler had to drop his daughter off at the babysitters this morning which is about 20 minutes from the butcher so I asked him to swing by and grab the hides.
So at this point I can do one of three things; flesh, salt or freeze. Since it is going to be well below freezing over the next couple months I decided to freeze to give me some time to figure out which direction I want to go with. So we hung them up from the beam.
There is going to be some serious fleshing going on.
Marco's Hide.
Polo's Hide.
My daughter texted me in the middle of it
I'm probably going to cut the hides in half to make them more manageable during the process.
I am concerned about varmints coming in and messing with them, so going to have to monitor this.
