Lucky rabbit's foot

[Evil Taco]

me and cougerking went out for a hunt the past two days and i managed to bag my first rabbit and blood my bow (post up story later) anyway from my rabbit i took the foot and am planning to make a necklace out of it (for hunting) has anyone done this and if so what do i do? its still got flesh and bone inside so would i have to cut it open or not...? anyone have any ideas...

I have one from years ago not a neck lace but just as is. I just got a ice cream contianer and put the foot in and filled it with salt and left it for a month or so. Still good and dosen't smell. Good Luck.

I just soak em in methanol and turps, then dry em out.

About 2 weeks.

Fine grain, table or cooking salt.

You'll notice a common theme between each method of removing the fluid part (dehydrating). However you do this is fine.

If your going to be wearing it as a necklace I'd suggest fixing it or tanning it, as well as smoking it or something to help stop it taking up moisture in the future.

As woodstoker said, I wouldnt think you'd have to do anything with em just lel it dry and it should be fine. dont know how but they dont slip the hair or smell (iv done a couple the same)
