Dark brown butt, rust-colored torso, dark brown head. Gonna skin like a beaver and tan it and hoop it. Also more white than usual on the underside. Pretty neat muskrat.

Definitely a different coloration. I’d tan it too. I like the hoop idea.


I trap for fun. I skin 'em for the money!

Nice catch. And prime, a definite personal keeper. Hooping seems like a great idea

That's how I do my 'skrat pelts, I think they look great like that. I tan, hoop, and sell all my fur.
