I skinned a bobcat about a week ago and just took it off the stretcher and noticed that it had a really bad smell. the smell is worse than the coyotes i have just wondering if this is bad and what to do about it :? . thanks

It didnt stink when i put it on there. its dry now it isnt slipping anywhere but it just smells like something is wrong with it. i fleshed it good so i dont know what it would be.

have you put up a lot of fur..........the muzzle and ears can be a problem at times. did you pull the ear cartlidge out or use any borax?
