Skinned out my first coon, did okay. I messed up the tail but the face and ears are flawless. I scraped him down throughly soaked him in a little baking soda and soap for two hours then salted him down well....am I on the right track?

Everything sounds good up to the point where your washed him down & salted the pelt Are you planning on selling it or tanning it?

If you plan on keeping it as a keepsake I'd get it tanned. If you just salt it down and let it dry it will get very stiff and possibly even have the fur slip over time.
