I still do not know after like 5 years what I'm doing here. Can anyone help me answer this? Question: How deep do you need to go on the bottom part of the beaver when scraping? Here is a picture of a perfect example of me not knowing how deep. I sort of cut deeper, then thought, "Well, maybe too deep." I don't know. I've sold several beaver in FHA auction that weren't marked down at all. Maybe it doesn't matter? I DO want to learn how to do it correctly. Thank you.

Best demo ever .I just got a new Dunn knife for clean skinning.Probably won’t trap a beaver till next season as I have a bad aortic valve that’s going to need replaced soon.Thank you for taking the time to do these demos at the sales!

Boco's the beaver put-up king!
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

nyhuntfish,
Be patient with yourself. Finishing beaver and doing it like the better ones shown on this thread is not an easy task to get a handle on. Practice, practice, practice.
