It worked but really needed to work the hide to soften them up a bit. I only need a couple of critters to add to my collection. Would like to have 1 of each I have caught in MN.

My daughter has one of every legal fur in our state on her wall, including a hooped 50 lbs beaver hide adorned with turkey feathers. The only one she doesn't have is a grey fox, which hasn't been seen in these parts in over 15 years.
