fishing, I rinse my flybox and reel out everytime after use.   Hides, noooooo not really.  I have a bed liner in and I make sure I get all the salt out I can.

I have a salt box outside now. Its 4x8 with rubber tires. I keep it under the shop roof and it has a heater that is set at 70 degrees. 24 hours in the salt , shake off and dry.
I did get salt everywhere, and yes rust too!!

I've never really had a problem with salting.  I salt in my shop.  Usually a few hides at a time.  I clean up any spilled salt daily.  I mop the floor and I keep the salt away from metal.  Eventually I will get a shed built seperate from the shop that I will do my salting in.

side story.......when I was a kid in Twisp the walkway kind of became slick, so I thought cool, its -5 out, I'll water it and make it real fun.  Idabooner was impressed Im sure.  So genuis here, or your truly, takes a bucnh of salt from the feed room, and spreads it all over the ice, which made it not so slick again.   Then come spring and the next two years, no grass or a big brown streak in front of our house.    :yike:

This is a little off subject but humorusall the same. When I was about 8 my dad killed a nice blacktail. He was boiling the skull cap with me there by his side watching. Dad said , do you want to try some antler soup. Of course what would an 8 year old say, YA! Dad says here son . I'll add a little salt to it for ya and then gave me a big spoon full. Of course it went right back out of my mouth and good Ol' dad was lauphing his ars off.

When I first started dabbling in taxidermy I use to wash deer capes and hides in the bath tub.  Step mom put an end to that when she came home and found one hanging in the shower draining.  I learned that 5 gallon buckets and garden hoses are a much better idea. :)

I had to stop ringing hides out in the washing machine;  Hair was a pain in the butt to get out.
