Predator Hunting > Fur Handling

Question about getting them ready to sell

(1/3) > >>

scott:
My buddy has been handling all the skinning so far this year.  I have some questions.  He is skinning out the animal then somewhat fleshing them, put them on stretcher and hang them inside out for about 2 days then right side in for 2 days, then they are then put on a hanger and hung in a shed. 

Are we going to take a huge deduction for anything.  Can we skin and freeze them and not flesh them? 

Leglifter:
Might as well complete the fleshing process, especially coon
Also coon are sold with the fur side in
Fox are sold fur side out.

You can freeze them for now and flesh and put up later
As far as deductions..... it could be anything, I'd have to see the finished item to tell

uncle buck:
Scott doesn't take much fleshing for fox...You might be done already... Kind of do just what your doing now and you will be OK with the fox...Now coon they take more fleshing. Leglifter is correct....Coon should be left skin side out on the strecher...

Hern:
Scott, can you post some pictures? We can tell ya what we think. OK?

On Fox...When I turn fur side out, I like to comb fur upward towards head. This makes the fur stand up and as the hide finishes drying these hair stay in place and makes a nice looking pelt.

I also 'tumble' Fox, Coyote & Raccoon.

scott:
i will take some pictures this weekend.
