    Default Using fresh bucktail?


    I have access to a lot of fresh bucktail in hunting season, everyone around usually processes their own deers. My question is can I you fresh bucktail to tie jigs or does it need to be treated or something?

    Thanks

    You can also process them so they last for years: wash them with dawn dish soap, debone and clean all the fat of them, then mix a 1/2 lb alum with couple gal. water let them soak for 2 weeks stirring once and a while, rinse then with fresh water,
    then dry.

    I usually split them and remove fat then cover with salt and borax.
    Works well.

    Split and salted till dry. Dye if desired and dry back out
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
