Old time Trappers - 12/31/17 01:30 AM
I was shown some old pictures of some in-laws the other day. One man was in front of his cabin with beaver pelts tacked on the wall and had several pelts hanging from a stand he'd made. Snow had to be 2 feet deep!!
I know you all have seen pictures like this. Just curious about the condition of those furs after being out in the freezing weather for months.
Yet we take all kinds of precautions to maintain a constant temperature for drying, etc. Are we wasting our time - did these guys know something that's been forgotten...??
