Much easier on the trapper to put them up fur in too. No need to turn em....saves you time. Scrape em..board em...you're done. FH, and most other outlets, want them fur out. They are much prettier finished fur out..for a catch photo.. Last edited by Swamp Wolf; 08/18/21 12:35 PM. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

Can see primeness of leather and any damage more easily on leather side. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service
