It only covers skinning, though. You'll also need to slit the tail, remove the bone and flesh the hide. Then it will need to be put on a #6 wire stretcher (you can probably get one at Ganders) and dried skin out/fur in for tannery purposes. The best situation is to dry it in your basement with a gentle fan circulating air. Wipe any grease that melts out of the leather (once every day or so) and within a week it will be ready to ship to a tannery.

Congrats on the trophy and good luck skinning!
