Good tip. I appreciate that.

Hey BP, International fur dressers out of Winnipeg, tanned them. I sell some to our local indigenous groups who are being inducted into the otter clan. They require a complete otter with paws, lips, etc. to be made into a medicine bundle. They are not allowed to trap it themselves though, meet a lot of trappers buying them from me.

The paws are harder and not supper soft but they do not rot, or have any hair slipping.

Jerry splits the pads and has never had a complaint about them slipping.

Thanks Sask, Cathryn. Good info.
