Hanging head down, hanging tail down, laying flat stomach up or????
What’s the best way to hang a beaver to dry?

Roll it in snow.

With a large fish hook thru the nose.

I used to put pallets in the box of my pickup to lay the beaver on so they would finish drying when there's snow rolling them around on it works well . The pallets also help keeping the beaver from freezing down to the bed of the pickup .

I'd also save my dog food bags to put beaver or even coyotes or fox in to keep the mess down to a minimum.

Throw and old piece of carpet down in your furshed,or woodshed,and lay them belly up on that for a couple days.You can flip them on their bellys for a while then on their back again to finish.I like to give them a brushing with a stiff scrubbrush while laying them out on the carpet.If there is snow on the ground it will take the majority of the water out of the fur if the beaver is rolled in the snow a bit.
Never liked to hang beaver to dry because it makes them bleed a lot when skinning.



The first one in the pic is just about and the others still a bit damp on the backs.(they were just flipped).

When I trapped In SC we had a couple of old bed springs In the skinning shack we laid our beaver on.

I lay mine on milk crates and put the fan on them

5 minutes with a leaf blower does the trick

When they are stretched on a board or hoop along with the the hide after the have been skinned and fleshed.
