It's the best way to ensure you're going to be able to get top value for your catch. This site is great, YouTube is a valuable resource but nothing beats watching a trapper or taxidermist handle fur in a classroom setting where questions are immediately answered.

Nobody can turn a sows ear into a silk purse but anyone can turn a silk purse into a sows ear. Anyone who has attended or worked a fur sale has seen plenty of evidence of that.

Take it for what it's worth.

When I went to convention that 's were I went to the fur demo. Did pass some of it on what I learned at my fur handling days at the fur shed until it got to large .
