Sounds like maybe they got thawed out at one point. Go ahead and board them and see.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I just had the same thing happen. The biggest problem was the hides were wrapped tight in plastic. I pitched them due to the smell. The green around edges didn't make me want to do anything with them either. I would like to know how they turn out. My biggest problem was I didn't want my buyer to smell them and think all my stuff was bad too. I am selling Thursday, or at least listening to the offer, to GFW when they stop near me. I will post my take once I see what they say.
Wish I had more time to trap....

I will post my take once I see what they say. Your going to be disappointed. I sold some fur on Friday. The same size beaver I sold to GFW in January sold Friday for $4 less that then they did in January. I got $8 for my biggest beaver. Thats put up. I never measured it but it weighed 58lbs. Sold 2 in January same size for $12 both put up.

I averaged $7.50 last year on all my beaver and they were nicely put up.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
