Looking at a mink/muskrat fleshing board combo. Found these 3 that all seem similar but not many reviews on any of them. Anyone have any advise or comments on these?

No need for a "fleshing board" for rats and mink. Use the broad you will stretch the pelt on, or if using wire for rats use a small rat board to flesh on. Pull the pelt on so that you can flesh the side and then flip the broad to do the other side. Then straighten the pelt out so you are ready to tack the pelt on the board. Then finish the belly and back, leaving the saddle membrane on the pelt, except mink if it has a lot of fat under the saddle.
A small pelt curved flesher is the ideal tool for the fleshing of rats, mink/marten and other small animals when using their forming boards in the fleshing process.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Any curved fleshing beam can be used for mink. Just lay it on the beam instead of pulling it on and hold it with your belly while you are fleshing it. You can tack a nail in an eye hole also. Just be sure to make sure there are no wrinkles in it. I use my coon beam for everything- some fox necks wont fit easily sometimes but I make it work.
