OK guys We have all talked about putting up fur, now how about some ideas on how to hang fur in the shed to dry.Any ideas on how to stand up coon boards on the floor or celing?

I like to hang mine up. Try to keep them far enough apart so they won't touch each other and allow enough air to surround them. And I have a couple of fans going nonstop when I have furs and hides that aren't dry yet.

I use small screw hooks in the rafters. i put the hooks about 3" apart then i hang by the tip of the stretcher. some guys hang them by the nose and others hang them by the base of the stretcher. i also keep a small fan going all the time once i have pelts on strecthers.

take 1x2 put a nail through erver 6 inches and bend it so i hooks or close screw it to the rafters i hang by the nose

Hang your coon from the base (tail end) this will keep the grease from running down on your fur.
Use a fan to keep air moving and the use of a dehumidifier will really speed up drying you have to get the moisture out of your shed.

Great tips guys. Last year was my first year and I would take an rag and wipe the leather off every day intill dry. Does that help to wipe them off or am I wasting my time? Thanks buckmaster

Dosen't hurt a bit. Another thing that will speed the drying time on coon tails Is rub In a little borax. The tails are alway's the last thing to dry

Thanx guys for the help!

good thought beav, but i put up most of my coon on wire, in this case it makes no sense to hang from the base, the tail would flop down over the back.
