We got our hides in a few weeks ago from dip/pack.
My wife is hugely disappointed because of her caracal hide.
All 4 feet have huge holes above the feet in the front.
hand sized patch of no hair on the side of the belly.
quite a bit of slippage all over, but especially on the belly.
The face isn't too bad. the ears look really good.
My taxidermist has been looking forward to getting the caracal skin and do a $5000 mount for $1500 if he could use it for competitions.
He looked at the hide and said it's barely worth mounting, if that.
What to do about it?
Is it the skinning and salting or the dip and pack company.
I don't know.
I just know that taxidermy ruins my hunt memories.
Taxidermy on the 1st trip was horrible.
This one was only dip/pack but half my stuff doesn't look too great, but the main animal was awful.

Can you share some pictures of this with us.
