When you are fleshing,can you stop yourself from flickin a piece of fat that lands on your hand.i swear its a habit i can't break,even after huckin a piece into a buyers mouth-shot of a lifetime.i keep doin it.

takin today to move the antqiue hoard into the new store so i quit "flickin fat on stuff.

huckin a piece into a buyers mouth

......wow!!!!!!!

he was watching over my shoulder and i was demonstrating and talking and bloop.

was talkin the old days with him yesterday and he brought it up.

also always knew when one would land on the stove.

10-12 years i fleshed all of JAN-APR. full time outta a one car garage with a couple leaners off it.enough coon fat in there that it'd a went up like a match tip had it ever caught.

Coon fat burns real hot in a wood stove

Thats funny about flickin it in the buyers yap hole

i even had a defect named after me at one time----imagine that.

would nick one every now and then getting that little bit beside the ear-never hurt and maybe 5 outta a 1000 but it was known as a "Mark bite" instead of bite mark.and yes my name is Mark.

I always did the big wipe.

When I was using an outside wood boiler, if you wanted to really beef up your fire, coon fat was amazing.

boosts egg production on the chickens also.just fed em 2 5 gal. pails.ran right from that bobcat carcass and fast.

Did not know that

Flick, flick and more Flicking. Was going to post when I first saw the post. pcr2 do you have dogs that to catch the flicking grease. I help the 80 year old fur buyer put up fur. He is a coon hunter ,sell and trades dog food and collars for fur . His dogs want to set by the stove not fare were I am fleshing .one bit of fat flicked on the dog and the others want it like he stoled it. Back and forth and the old fur buyer just sets there laughing. Got a new Necker last summer but I seen a sale on Wiebe elite knife and got it. Well it sure is sharp. Cut me two times but got use to it. And for the dogs when the grease in the stove gets hot the dog head out.

My one fleshing beam wasn't engineered quite right and has more fat miss the tub than goes in- I need to put a funnel on it. How about the trimmed inspection window- only about 1 out of 10 makes it in the tub, shucks Im only throwing it a distance of about 3 feet. It wraps around my hand, hits the wall to the left, or comes up short about 2 feet.

That all sounds like home!
