Yes for sure, the first one went well, i got one tiny knick on the back where all the grizzle comes up from the tail. But all in all really good. I plan to skin this one and try flesh it first before i tackle the big girl that i want to hoop into a wall hanger. The fleshing is all new too, i've always sold everything green. These kids have really got me digging deeper into this. FUN!!!

They skin easier than they flesh....although fleshing isn’t bad wince you get the hang of it. Two year olds and under are easy, bigger ones you’ll need use of the sharp side of your fleshing knife.
