3. Place bird inside nylon or freezer bag and freeze.
To prepare Deer & other large game:
1. Cut around ankles.

Notes: At all costs avoid water damage to the pelt, which causes slippage of the mount and can destroy the hide itself. It’s often best to bring in the complete pelt uncut, as some forms require more hide than others.
**Remember for the very best results, the sooner the better for both freezing your trophy and getting it into your Taxidermist for mounting.
