WHAT CAN I IMPROVE ON??

THANKS!

Looks about right...

Looks good. You left some of the saddle on, some guys flesh off the whole saddle which is a mistake.

Why do you leave the saddle on ?I've always done it cause "your 'sposed to",just ddon't know why . Sorry for the de-rail.

I would suggest keeping them outside so as not to allow your home to become imbided with that fresh mink smell. Otherwise they look great, smaller one may be slightly off center.

You need to catch bigger mink. Then they will look better.

Good job!

LOL

It's in our basement, the only place left in our house where a man can be a man and not get nagged at....too much

Would you give me top dollar Mark? lol

One thing you can improve on is moving from your 3lb dumb bells to maybe 10lber's. I think you can handle it. It may be a struggle at the beginning, but just stick with it. Mink look fine.

Looks good Nick.

Your hired! Be here at 7:00 am.

looks good, I am no expert and i put my first mink up this week too. It looks like you can straightn the tail out on the right one a little bit.

I'd go back to the rainbow pins that they gave out at the PFLAG convention.

Look good......you know, other than that.

Honestly Nick, from what I see there I would say yes. However, without examining the mink in my hand it is hard to say. From the pictures it looks like you put them up well. It is obvious you paid attention to detail in the process and removed only that which has to be removed. I would look at my "centering" a little closer, but that is a minor detail.
From what I see I would be proud to have them hanging over my beer cooler (which just happens to be in my shed).
Now, let's see some of your coons and beaver, those are the true test in my opinion.

Nick they look fine.
as far as leaving the saddle on is concerned. It should be left on if there is not to much grease under the saddle. If you catch one that has loads of grease under the saddle, you can remove the saddle without any reduction in price, if you do not cause the hair roots to become exposed.
I remove the saddle on all greasy mink and have never been docked for it.
A mink with to much grease under the saddle can taint. You can try all you want to get all the grease from under the saddle , but without removing it, I just can not get the job I want to see.
Once again, it should be left on unless you have a very greasy mink.

The shiny/sparkly NAMBLA pins won't work?

Thanks Mark and Don, You're the guys who I wanted to hear from! Truly assets to the forum!

Thanks everyone else too!

Nick what am I,CHOPPED LIVER??????????????????

On a GOOD Day!!

I've been using my "Member's Only" pins from them for years, but just not the same.

Looks like the one on the left is a female. If it is it is a big female or you have a small male or you may have cut to high on the belly.
