Not sure of this link will work. May work for those on Facebook. Jackie Wurtz from Alberta rough skins and fleshes a beaver in under ten minutes.

Wow. Goals. I timed myself last night skinning a small beaver just for the heck of it. 11 minutes. And I felt like I was moving pretty good. I know that's not terribly fast, but sure beats when I first started beaver trapping. That is very impressive.

I'd feel better about it if it were a 45 lber and not a 25 lber. I gotta make myself a trough, and see if that is easier. I wonder what the average would be if a person was to actually keep measure it. I know the first 20 I did took a long time, but now every one gets a little quicker. I am now thoroughly intrigued by this guys fleshing method and I need to learn how to do it haha.

Dang you learn something every day you look for it! As many beaver as I have skinned the fact that which side you leave your last stroke on a knife never registered with me. Now I want a beaver!!
