tips[12]='Want to make the fur soft and nice? Shampoo the hide, and rinse it very well before you salt and tan the hide.'

tips[19]='Spray your hunting gloves and face mask with scent blocker or cover scent and store in a ziploc bag between hunts.'

tips[25]='Human skin stands out to predators. Keep all skin covered while calling. Use gloves and face masks when on the stand.'
