Ready to board! Lol.

Eat your heart out. Lol.

John that looks like my clean skinnin’
You could feed a family of coyotes with all that...lol

Or frost scraping ? You must of used the new N-S skinning knife since Lee got that new grinder all fixed up ha ha

Looks about right.

I see your still using your skinning shovel

John, looks like you skun that beaver with a dull axe!

Someone told me its easier to scrape on a beam when you leave half the carcass on the hide.
Guess he was right by the looks of it,lol.

That one will take a while to dry.

I think there's some truth to that. I tried my hand at clean skinning on one this year, and of course did a terrible job. But I couldn't for the life of me get it fleshed the way I wanted afterwards with my regular fleshing knife. I do much better leaving half of it on.

I do it that way so I can keep feeding my foxes. Good pee!

I skin them either over my knee or on the beam with a knife. Way faster for me than a fleshing knife. Only beaver, though. I prefer the beam. I’ll admit, that one there has a bit of chunky to it. I must have been in a rush. Lol. But if I just leave that membrane and fat I speed through them.

Beaver's sold by weight you'll have the best average of anyone.

I do all rough skinned beaver over my knee also.
Once you learn how to sharpen a knife its a breeze-thats the key to clean skinning too.
Otter goes real good over the knee too.

I agree on the otter. Way faster.

I left the key on in a tractor when I was a kid and went over my dad’s knee also. Lol.

I tried "clean" skinning a couple this year. I did okay until I got to the back, and I made some ill advised cuts, ill just rough skin from now on. BTW, I'm gonna do a couple backwards (split up the back) just to see what happens. That belly fur just seems too soft to split it apart IDK!

Cheese and Rice ! Keep practising, lol

I thought you'de like the soothing sound of my voice, lol

Lol, brought to you from the beaver realms. Where did you find Mike? Looks like you smuggled him in a large suitcase from Hawaii. I wouldn’t fight him. Lol.

Les, you sound like Clint Eastwood sometimes.

John, I’m a quitter when it comes to clean skinning. I’m not afraid to admit it. I start one every year and then just start jacking away like my knife is a machete. Lol.

Common back to the light Marine!
