Don’t even need to put a blade on it. Lol.

Have your youthful assistants clean that one up for you.

Exactly how I do it. lol

Looks like you did a good job to me. If I have a 50 lb. beaver, I end up with a 40 lb. Hide!

When I skin them I just get the bones out 😁. The more I leave on the pelt the easier to flesh and get a few buckets of good cat bait,

John that don't look like one of my clean skinned beaver pelts when I'm done ha ha

I don’t skin many beaver but they look the same. I’m thinking I need to a curved knife for clean skinning. But, I’m not sure it would save much time time for me

Boco and Les are shaking their heads at that sight!

Chris

My first 50 or so looked like that. Lol.

I can clean skin one in about the time it takes to watch a football game!

Keep at it,you're getting there.

I've found clean skinning beaver much quicker than rough skinning them but I had plenty of practice back when the market for them was good yes I know I just gave away my age ha ha

As for a knife to use my favorite is still the Stockman 80T Oldtimer knife I've never gotten the hang of those round bladed knives .
Allan

Even at my advanced age I can rough skin a beaver In about 5 min. And It takes me about 12 min to flesh one. I'm going to keep doing It like I'm doing.

Lol. I was having a contest to see how fast I could just skin one. I won. But I was the only one skinning. 9 minutes. Lol.

Beav, I expect nothing than that from a Marine. One day I’ll be up there with you. Lol.

Jags, these boys can’t cut a hotdog with a butter knife safely. They’re savages. Lol.

Well at least ya the right knife LOL.

Yes that is a nice looking beaver knife, what kind is it?

Well there's always your old career



Lol. Get those savages trained up! someone's going to have to skin if the border opens and I come for a visit

Thats a John of Henry knife. Pipe welder on here....his dad makes them. Real nice.

But Lee Steinmeyer makes some nice pelters. Lol. Here we go again.
I only see Sailors. No Marines. Lol.
