Finally got around to hooping a muskrat. I think it turned out okay, learned a few things I'll definitely apply to the next ones.

No, that is something I want to try next season. I am still working on brain tan deer hides. Haven't tried fur tanning yet.

Very easy to paste tan them on the hoop,You wont be able to work them soft very well but that isnt an issue for a hooped fur.
