#4 for my rookie year of wolf trapping! I finally got all my fur handling tools shipped up to me from the lower 48 and fleshed the first one.

That was tough! I’ve put up over 250 coyotes over the past few years and that wolf was the toughest thing I’ve ever done. Are they always tough to do or are there any secrets to fleshing?

That one looks to have a decent pelt on it,good job.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

But seriously, how long does it take you guys to flesh these? This one took me a couple hours.

That's not an unusual amount of time. Get good with a draw knife and make a good beam and it will go faster.

Don't try and rush "fast!" If you have put up coyotes, you will soon be good (and faster) at fleshing wolves.

You are doing it all wrong, you are supposed to teach them to carry the gear for you. Just kidding, nice work!
