caught my first mink today in a pocket set for coon never done one before anybody got pics or video on how to skin it?

Mink is the same a marten fox,coyote, fox, lynx, and prolly also coon, it is cased fur out....try to keep the feet on if you can at lease the back feet. Good luck

through the mouth....

How long do you strech it before putting it fur out and then how do you store till sold

you don't put it fur out.
mink, 'rat and otter are skin out.

and you can hang them in a cool dry place... till you tan them.

as for stretching, keep it fur in on the stretcher till it is dry to tutch, usually about 1-2 hours for marten,which is bjust a big version of a mink pretty much, if you have a fan, put that blowing on it at 60 degrees,it should only take about 35 minutes, if you do it to long like I did on my first marten it will be extriemly hard to turn and I ended up damaging the pelt a little too. good luck!

mink is fur in

Mink are fur in? mink are a marten...only mink are smaller....not really any diff. exept mink live right by creeks. if you caught a "mink" a ways from water, it was prolly a marten

hump said not to turn it till tanned justtrap says turn it after dry justtrap do you sell yours fur out just streched and dry

If you want to sell it toa fur buyer, do it fur side out.

Mink are 100% fur in. A mink away from the water is still a mink. They may be related, but not the same animal.

if you are keeping it do what ever you want if you are trying to sell it skin out fur in.

Ok, I am humbled, Mink look exacially the same as a marten only just a little smaller, I thought I read they where fur out....If theya re fur in, how come you get docked if the guard hairs are hooked on the end?

Ok. First off Mink and marten are NOT the same creature. Although similar in size and structure they are totally different and live in totally differnet environments.

Second. Mink are oily, greasy. Marten are probalby the "driest" pelts there are. I haave never needed to even think of fleshing a marten.

third mink are sold FUR IN..... marten are FUR out.

and I believe the hooked guard hairs are called "singed" and it is damaged

Mk, Ya, never did have to flesh marten, but marten is all i trap,all i target,and we dont have any mink around here, always thought thay where the same animal. THANKS MAN!

there area alot of mink around the big lake area.

meant IN...lol

I live WAY out side of big lake, i just put big lake cause thats the closest town
