Are you opening them like a coon so you end up with no leg holes on the rear legs? When you do the test allow for removing the feet and the time it takes to hang that beaver. And as to fleshing. I have fleshed a lot of beaver and I don't see where fleshing a cased skinned beaver over an open skinned beaver would be any advantage. If your having problems keeping the beaver hide on the beam then your doing It wrong. The first 500 will make you an expert. LOL The forum Know It All according to Muskrat

It very well could be a little slower and without a few to skin right now , I can't give an accurate estimate as to how long it takes. I 'm thinking a 20 -30 pounder should take 5 to 7 minutes. A 55 -60 pounder would be 7 to 10 minutes. Since you know how to skin...….I'm gonna have to trust your assessment.

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. I never knew NAFA would do the skinning for people, if they so choose. Learn something new every day on here.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
