Fleshed to CLEAN.



leave some fat because as the rat dries It absorbs all that fat and keeps the rat from drying out too much. And over dried rats will get you less money .

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.

Yep rats don't need much fleshing. A couple of minutes and they are on the stretcher.
