Good job man.
Tanned otter sell very well,at a fair price.
I can get a little more for the ones with feet on but they dont sell as fast.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Thanks ! I had a market for long time at $40 green with feet, but it's now gone. I have hard time wanting to sell put up ones for twenty twenty five. I have pile of tanned ones on hand. I need swap some for making me a blanket. I know where a fur sewing machine is but Idk if I need another hobby/job. Wish I coulda tried that frost scraping you talk about.

Definitely. Would like to watch some others scrape otter. I worked 9 years for fur buyer but it was mostly coon and we used a mill's vibrating knife scraping machine.

Looking good Dean! I wish I had the equipment to sew furs, I think I'd enjoy it.

Yeah I need to spend some hours marketing. I spend 6 months on timber type contracts then play catch up for the rest of life's responsibilities. Thanks Jamie. If I decide not to pursue the fur sewing machine I'll l let you know where it is.

That is mighty impressive. Beautiful put up too. Good job!

My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

If you're on Facebook might try posting them in Matt Jones group. More than a few buyers there. Might be interested in a collection like that!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/780974495723834

If you do, you can't post a price per FB rules... just say something like "for discussion" and buyers will PM you if interested.

And here I complain about my 3-6 a year -- Are they from our direction or your neck of the woods?
