I say "pulled the hide off it" to eliminate the dilemma.

As the Devil's adjective, irregardless of all intensive purposes, I cannot in good conscience, accept the bastardization of the Queen's English (especially by one of her sworn servants), by somehow changing an "X" into a "K" to justify such a travesty to human language.
My disdain for such matters is not limited to the Canadians. I also have issue with Pennsylvanians (and other localized miscreants) who refer to the plural of White-tailed does and bucks as "We saw 3 doe and two buck."
While on the topic, I have issue with the spelling of the word "creek" as "crick."
One can say "crick" all they want. All a responsible citizen could ask, is that you just don't spell it that way for the good of mankind.
I apologize to anyone who now feels as though they have been shun. That was not my intention.

I am so sick of grammatically correct , politically correct , the re-writing of definitions , 20 words to replace one so that we can soft speak around stuff.


if they can use un-alived all over the place in stuff

I am going to use Dead , killed , murdered .

so Skun , Skan , Skint use away

I like regional colloquialisms , it's what keeps us from all sounding like the people on the news.

Skun it sounds better and that is what I hear around here.

It is like sink and sank. The boat will sink. The boat sank.

Not sink and sinked.

Just my two cents even though I was never good at English.

Would Fore Skin...be the action before skinning..?

See this is what happens when trappers are snow bound. The get bored and irritated and try to think up ways to irritate the rest of us.

Personally, I go with I peeled 25 beaver today.

It depends. Are you "skinning it" now?

That is funny. One of my pet sayings is “ do I need to type into a search for ya”?

Skun is the correct past tense to the OP.

Notice past participle "skinned".

Peeled

skint

Skun. Final answer from a trapper in Wisconsin. I have never in my life skinned anything, but I've skun a bunch of critters, and yes I caught some in the crick, and one I dove after, but I never catch deer while hunting that's a road too far.

Skun for me. you skun it not skinned it.

Kind of like..."mushrat"

Skindedid.

I done skunt them all out

Then a bunch of them would be a chain right?

The "defund the spelling police" crowd are after you now!

I think a pull-out is considered the Missing Links

Anyone peeling that many beaver a day can call it anything they want!!!
