I've skinned many different critters with the exception of otter, skunk and weasel, wolverines and wolves. I like Lazarus hate skinning badgers and mink, mainly it's the smell I don't like. Allan

Red squirrels,always a pain to make sure the tail winds up with the pelt and not the carcass.

i love working in the shop but for 30 yrs my dad skinned 90 percent of my rats and beaver.he loved to skin those 2 but wouldn't touch anything else.he passed 3 yrs ago and rats and beaver bring back a flood of memories of hundreds of hours in the shop with him.

Fox, they pull easy but they tear way too easily, I can't hardly get myself to slow down and be careful. Ive seen your skinning videos. If you skin fox like you skin coon, like me you will have the same issues. thirty seconds a coon doesnt fly for fox. Exactly why i hate them if I could get my coon to half your speed id be a happy man haha

Red squirrels,always a pain to make sure the tail winds up with the pelt and not the carcass. Dont worry about it and send the tails to Mepps. probably worth more even still. I had what I thought was a decent red squirrel for three years now at fha. They just threw it out. lol

I don't market red squirrels thru the auction at this time,although in the past I have avg'd just under $4 for a pile of them. I sell on the craft market,tanned.Tails are important in that market. They sell good at auction when they are used for linings in expensive leather jackets.In that case tails don't matter.

Most people dont like otters because of the tail. I was one of those people till I figured out a way to do the tails in about a minute flat. Once the tail was fast, I started enjoying them. Hutchy, How About Sharing & Explaining Your Secret For Skinning An Otter Tail Fast ? w
