I spent the last 3 hours looking in the archives, trying to find out how to go about removing the glands from fox. I couldn't find anything on the topic. (although I did get sidetracked on other interesting stuff)
What is the procedure for removing fox glands from the carcass.

Thank you CoonDuke

Here is Some pics of glands and where to find them,I will explain where to find them and what to look for.

THE ANAL GLANDS
Just cut around the butt hole and pull about four inches of gut out too,strip out all the poop out of it...This is the gland every lure maker looks for.It is the most popular gland for gland lure

THE HOCK GLANDS
These glands are the second most important gland,They are found on the back legs behind the knee,Look for where the two large muscles meet the knee,Split the muscles apart and look for the fat deposit,The gland is a little pink gland about the size of a half of pea (some are small and some are big)

Then there is the center foot pad on the back foot,It is a gland BUT not a real important one ( no picture of it )
These glands and their locations are found on all animals.once you recognize them they are easy to find .But before you collect them ask your buyer wants ones they want.
Hope this helps out

Thanks again folks.
