Whats the best procedure for cleaning mud or blood off of fur.

Warm water and dawn dish soap. Rub a dub dub

+1...I wish I had enough motivation to do them all like that. Had a coon so full of mud that the washing in the creek just was not enough to get the grit out of his fur. I was worried about catching a dry ball of mud in there while scraping. Boy they come out with a nice shine, and the guard hair really pops. For now though, it will only be the critters that roll around after the dispatch and mudballs that get to go for the rubber ducky action

I wash all my fur with water and soap. I bought a old ringer washer just for doing them. First I skin then turn fur side out and throw it in the washing machine for about 10 min. Then take it out and put threw ringer then shake/ snap it . Then flesh it .

I HATE muddy coon!

The only slow process of the whole thing, in my opinion, is after scraping, or before feezing for scraping later, it usually takes me over night to get them dry enough to freeze (I scrape later, on coldest miserable days)...anyone have some tricks other than old towels and newspaper wrapping with the fan?

I skin
Wash
Rinse
Snap like a towel in a locker room
Roll up in a plastic grocery bag
And freeze
Never had a problem
