My two favorite parts of trapping are seeing a critter when I pull up to a set and skinning the critter. After two days in the shop the lynx was mostly thawed, just a little ice between the front legs. The hide was nice and white.




This was a big tom. I really enjoy working on lynx. The feet are fun. As are the ears and lips.




Normally when I'm skinning, Gregg is fleshing and boarding. So I got to practice last night. I'm still terrible at it.



I also helped a buddy out and skinned two of his cats. They were really small compared to the tom!

Nice cat,dont forget to wash your hands before making the cinnamon rolls,lol.

North of 50 - Thank you for the other tip/lesson! I'll definitely try that the next time I go out. The mink we catch don't get sent out because I LOVE them for sewing. I hoard them all and my trapping partner lets me.

Boco - Thank you! Hahaha! There's definitely lots of hand washing between those activities. I finally have a day off tomorrow and my plan is to make some cinnamon rolls!

Today menu; drum roll ...........................................for the cinnamon rolls please post some pics.

Northof50 - upped my game today and made a triple batch. I'll be a popular coworker tomorrow!

I would only eat those so as to not hurt your feelings! lol

Ah there’s the frosting !

What do you sew with the mink pelts? Pictures would be nice if you have them. I have a few mink pelts on hand but cannot decide what to make with them.

I like making little bears out of them. And I think I want to try making a headband out of mink!

Wow! Those look really well made. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty red finger nails with the fleshing knife and boarded critter is about the coolest picture ever. Great posts

And a million dollar smile.

Sissy those little bears are really sharp. If ever a price comes for one I know someone who would love one. PM me if ever.

Osky

Feet are never fun for me, maybe I should send some your way.

080808 - Lol, if that's the only reason you'd eat them, then I'd share with someone else!

Golf ball - I did frost all of them eventually. They just had to cool down.

bfisch - Thank you, I've made quite a few of them. They're good sellers. I started making them because I had so many scraps to use after bigger projects.

PAlltheway - I do like my red nails. They're kind of a bit of work with my hobbies, but I think they're worth it.

osky - Thank you -> I do sell my bears. They range in price from 65 to 120 depending on the type of fur and size of bear.

smalltimetrapper - Why don't you like feet?

Only kidding. Of course after eating half of them I would say “there ok but you need to keep practicing “. lol
