You will need to scrap as much of the meaty tissue off as possible, otherwise it'll start getting smelly. We just used to scrap them clean then wrap around a cylindrical washing up bottle with elastic bands then stuff with sticks/stones to add weight. It hardens off around the bottle, making a simple dummy. Same with Pheasant Wings, just elastic bands to hold them on.
