Whippeter69,

 

When you get the next fox and want to keep his tail, do it this way -

 

Cut all round the tail skin at the base of the tail then split a 30cm piece of hazel about 1cm thick about half way down. Push the split part either side of the tail bone, and hold real tight at each side of the tail. Then pull away from the fox and the bone will pull out of the tail.

 

Then poke it into a bottle of meths for a few weeks - when it comes out it will not smell and will lasy forever
