Does anyone have any YouTube Videos or other resources you can share on how to remove the glands from Muskrats including which ones to take and how to properly get them out?

Thanks,

The only ones worth getting are the ones that are by the tail. They look like mini castors/little brains. Most of the time they are are stuck hide, you literally just pull em off. Occasional stubborn ones need to a quick slice of a knife. Guys that stick a long filet knife from ankle to ankle risk cutting them.

They usually stick to the hide thru skinning. I pick them off when they go on the beam. They’ll pull off with your fingers. [Linked Image]
