Pretty good job if that was your first attempt. As you improve no fleshing will be required as it will truly be clean after skinning

You could eat well for a couple of meals just from fleshing that thing.

That's what we call rough skinning. That's not just the saddle that's the whole horse. LOL

You can. It's every thing else that should have stayed on the carcass.

Technically, when done clean skinning, you should be able to nail it to your board and clean it up with a few knife strokes. I nail mine out and a few passes with a sharp axe head and I'm done.

On a positive note, you've made a lot of guys feel better about their own abilities.

My quick rough skinning jobs have less flesh left than that. Seriously, I hope you dont think that is clean skinning.

At least it appears you didnt cut a hole in the leather...

Jurassic you are only 45 minutes away from Les.........get your passport out and go for a drive and a lesson from Les. It will be worth it, I'm sure Les has a couple of practice beavers for you to whittle on.

Otherwise roll it up and freeze it, and you have enough scrapings for 4 marten boxes in the fall off that hide , when you process in the fall. There are too many larder beetles flying now not to have beetle damage on a prepared pelt.
