i skinned out a badger and got lazy, mold ended up on my stretcher and my badger. it wasn't a big deal to me, i threw it in the freezer until i can remove the mold from the badger. i cleaned the crap out of the stretcher and then used it for a bobcat. obviously i didn't clean it well enough. i fleshed the bobcat very well, but now it's slightly moldy, how do i clean the flesh without damaging the fur?
rookie mistake, i know
Just an 18 year old trapper trying to learn...

Soak a rag In some bleach and wipe off the mold. The bleach will kill the bacteria and It won't hurt the fur.

You must have poor drying/storage conditions if you are getting mold on fur. Correct that,and you wont have to waste time and money trying to get rid of mold all the time.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
