I hardly fleshed it at all,just took the meat flaps off under the leg holes,lol-thin saddle and no fat on fall rats here in the north.. There is no market for rats,it will tan up very nicely. Get a few incidentals in beaver sets. Last edited by Boco; 10/21/24 09:49 AM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
