LOL, Bearcat you got that exactly right. Most came from up around Clay Creek off the Siuslaw. Cats too.

I spent a lot of time in that country 20 years ago or so, probably haven't been there in close to 15 years. There used to be a dude ranch back in that country, and I would stop off and talk to the caretaker. He had a dog (border collie, I think) that ALWAYS smelled like skunk. He told me one day that the dog had killed over 50 civets that year.

Cleaning up some cats for the auction this weekend. We'll see how bad the Ukraine situation hurt the market.

Wow that’s a beautiful pile of cats! Great work! I’m looking forward to the ITA sale this weekend.

End of year pic for me. Everything was caught in cages except for the coyotes.

Bearcat2,
Would you share your clean up process, what's in the bag and bottle?

Right on!!

Will have more pics. These days off.

Some nice collections, well done.

Heading to sell some more fur and skull's.

Just looking through the Idaho rules and regs., didn't see a section with bag limits.
Seasons, areas, everything but bag limits. Are there any ?
Thanks

No there are not. Couple of Oregon cats in there, in Oregon you have to choose Eastern or Western for bobcats when you buy your license, no limit if you choose Western but 5 cat limit if you choose Eastern. The rest of them are Idaho, first time in a lot of years I don't have at least one or two Wyoming cats in the bunch, which usually helps the average.

Sorry, missed this earlier. Cornmeal and denatured alcohol. I have been rinsing my cats after fleshing the last couple years, just using water, no soap. Furbuyers are claiming not to wash cats anymore. But rinsing them gets the blood and any dirt out without soap taking any of the natural oils out of the fur (I find it hard to believe soap will take out oils the acid bath for tanning doesn't, but once a furbuyer proved to me he could pick out my unwashed cats from my washed ones I quit washing). After they are all dried I spritz them with alcohol, mainly around the hind legs and any grease spots, like anyplace you had to sew a hole, and rub them down with cornmeal. Repeat on any spots that still have grease or aren't perfectly fluffy. Denatured alcohol also works great to get pitch spots out of the fur. I occasionally use a bit of borax on a blood or stain spot I missed rinsing, some years, others I don't, cornmeal and alcohol will get it all out, but sometimes I think borax removes stains easier.

I used rubbing alcohol one year when I ran out of denatured alcohol, seems to work just as good, but takes a bit longer to evaporate.

Thanks for the info.
Not used to seeing no limit ... cept for rats on a dump.
Nice mess o' cats, allowed 3 here in WV.

Caught this guy yesterday. Looks like it was a long winter for him too!

I'm sure someone will correct me on this, but the western states I know of with a limit are Montana, Utah, and Eastern Oregon. Other than that I think all the western states are unlimited, just limited by length of season.

I just have to say it again Boco, that is one beautiful wolf hide you have there. I live a couple hundred miles south, but if I was in the same country,I would be knocking on your door to try to work out a deal on that wolf !
