I don’t post often but it’s driving me crazy. I’m seeing cat pictures posted and the put up is awful.
My fur buyer of many years. (Who we sadly lost a couple of years ago). Told me that through the years my put up had earned me hundreds of dollars. You work hard to catch those cats, and you’re leaving money on the table. I don’t understand. Do you just not care, or is it, no one has shown you how.

My opinion it is NOT just cats... it is all fur whether it is fur in or out... I believe it is the individual has not been taught proper or has not taken the initiative to find a person to help him or her.... Myself as an example grew up in Michigan (water trapper). Retired from the navy and now reside in Nevada (land trapper) coyotes mainly. Started selling fur at the fallon sale in 2003. NOT completely happy with my fur presentation and a couple years of watching fur being brought to the sale I picked out a fella (Old Coy) that had coyotes that I wanted mine to look like. I asked him to critic my coyotes, after 5 seasons of you didn't do this or that I finally won my first best handled coyote award at the fallon sale. Now I am at the stage of the game where I get asked for help with fur put up. All because I ASKED for help....

I e got what you’re asking for. Not too proud to ask for help to make things good. How to post a picture never done it before?
Thanks if I can put more money in my brother’s pockets I’ll be happy too.

Not sure about what should and shouldn't be done, but it pays to spend a few extra minutes on them in my opinion. Four from the last day of the season this year, February 28th, and the put-ups. Two smaller cats done with feet, and the two larger toms my traditional style.

Right on.

I'm happy with a catch and want to make a decent presentation of fur.
I use correct board size and do a lot of combing.

I've learned from other over the years-

I've done it both ways, either way is acceptable. I generally take out of cats and often coyotes.

I generally leave it in. On canines I still do a more old school put up, with ears up and no Nevada stretch on the back legs. I will put some borax on the ear butts but not usually needed. What few cats I deal with get done with the Nevada stretch treatment, their presentation is much better with it.

Those look great, nice work. I've never left the feet on. What made you decide to do that? Maybe it's something i'm missing and should start doing.
