This season has been brutal. I live in northern Idaho and the ground hasn’t even frozen yet. 75% of my catch has to be washed before I skin it I live in town so I stop and give them a good rinse in a creek on the way home. Then I have to run fans on them until dry. I hate skinning coyotes as it is but this is making it even worse. All I want is snow and cold. I can sympathize with you guys out east. Here are today’s volunteers!

Looks like similar conditions we have in SE AK. Nice job, as usual.

That's what I've been dealing with too, I have a coyote and bobcat drying now, had to wash them mud balls off in the creek this morning then gave them another washing after skinning. [Linked Image]

Most of what I catch here is already soaked so I give them a bath in the ocean before hauling them home.
The best way yet to dry fur, for me, is the shop vac on blow mode. It does take time though.
