Anyone who wants to see him do it in person needs to be at the NCTA Convention on Sept. 28. We have a beaver skinning contest, 40 lb. beaver, traditional rough skin. Tommy is the man to beat. Two years ago, his time was 2 minutes 36 seconds. He was not there last year but will be there this year. He will also be sharing knowledge of catching canines on Friday and Saturday this year.

If I could do that I'd go back to rough skinning and do it right on the deck of the boat as I catch'em! But of course, I cant. grin

As it is, it takes me longer to carry one from the wagon to the shop than it takes them boys to undress one.

Anything over 6-7 is a pretty long day or night clean skinning and boarding for me.

I think that's amazing for sure. I have skinned a lot of beavers and the more I do the more tricks ya learn about speed and efficiency. etc..If ya have 30 in the back of the truck to skin-by the time I hit double digits I am a lot faster than the first few for sure. I rough skin just like Kirk's son did. But I am not as fast as that LOL. To me these days steady as she goes gets a lot of beavers skinned in good time.

Fastest most efficient I have seen is the Hutterite guy from Alberta up here-he blew me away with how quick and effortless he made skinning, fleshing and boarding a beaver look. Don't know his name but it's the most impressive video I have ever seen on beavers.

Jerrys a machine when it comes to.clean.skinnin..true.clean.skinnin..there's nothing to scrape off the hide qhen he's done..it's ready to be put on the board.

He ca. Rough skin one in about 5 too but he hates fleshin beaver with a passion.lol. his Mississippi partner tries to clean skin but boy you should here Jerry cussing when he's gotta flesh em before I can Board em.lol

It's so bad that this year he said he's gonna tell thw guy not.to even skin any of the beaver they catch that he'll do them. Jerry bring them.all home and puts them up cause the other guy doesn't want to and he said it'll be quicker to put them up if he just skins em.himself.


IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

Was alcohol involved in that conversation? That’s 12 an hour. I wonder what the finished product looks like?? Maybe a kite with lots of holes? Even if it’s true and it looks semi decent, that pace is not sustainable!
