Figure 24.—Fisting belly.

Sides and back.—Open the pelt down the midline of the belly and loosen the navel. Hold the pelt tight with one hand and fist off the sides, work around to the back, and up around the hindlegs ([fig. 25]). If the fell is broken try to work around the break to get a new start. Fist down past the shoulder, around the sides and up over the rump. From underneath the hock, push up until the pelt hangs by the skin that is fastened to the tail and anus ([fig. 26]). It will be necessary to use a knife to remove the pelt around the tail ([fig. 27]). Carefully skin around the tail and allow the pelt to drop ([fig. 28]).
