For most of us we could probably skin 2 beaver the conventional way by time one was skinned cased.

Don't skin them cased for the market,unless you case them out from a centerline cut from the tail to the middle of the belly only.Then you can finish the cut after beaming and you can board it normally.It is much more difficult to case skin a beaver than the conventional clean skinning method.

I skin all my beaver cased as my buyer request I do so along with leaving the top side of the tail attached. He has a market for it done that way and he pays better than the local buyers will pay so why not?
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Tried it once to see if they would flesh on the beam easier. Any time saved on fleshing is lost in more time skinning.

If your going to skin your beaver and sell them green your going to get about $6.00 to $8.00 for an average sized beaver. With these beaver prices your better off selling green. Or call NAFA they will put up your beaver for you but then your committed to selling them through the auction I believe FHA will also put up your fur at a cost. I use to work for NAFA but I'm not sure what they charge know. I think we use to charge $5.00 to scrape and board. So at those prices you would be better off selling green.

Case skinning isn't at all difficult It's just a lot slower then doing It the conventional way.

I used to hunt with a guide in Trurro Nova Scotia named Bill Meekins. He got me into trapping and he case skinned his beavers. He also used a cone shaped horizontal fleshing beam that rotated 360 degrees. As he fleshed an area he spun the beam to expose unfleshed area of hide. After fleshing he cut up the middle of the beaver then board it.
The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price
