Castor done… #7533632 03/20/22 05:04 PM 03/20/22 05:04 PM

Hope to have most pelts done in time to send north… not that I expect much for them but to get them gone lol. Lots of castor from Vermont run but enough from here to make a nice mix. Just under 16 lbs total. Not something I want to do again, but something I won’t forget. Last edited by mud; 03/20/22 05:08 PM. April is autism awareness month.

Exactly -- I didn't sort mine for the otc sale - will see how it did. Tried a different (for me) stretch on the beaver ---- don't think I will do that again. I know that my finished product was not perfect - but I broke my wrist September and had a little more difficult time processing than usual. Seems I always have an excuse for everything. It is a castor market at this point -but i think it is improving.

And you certainly are an authority on the water pigs. Now if I can just get them all scraped and boarded I can clean up for the year. If I counted correctly, I skinned around 90 to get the 15lb, 11oz. Not all had castors worth removing. A few small i set aside for lure, but that’s the rest in the pic. Had a few between 8 and 10 oz Last edited by mud; 03/20/22 08:54 PM. April is autism awareness month. Nearly 1 in every 100 children are born with an autism spectrum disorder.. 1 in 100.
