And will rubbing borax into the leather help speed the process?

I’m running a beaver line out of my camp for the last week of the season in Pennsylvania. I’ve caught nine so far. I’ve been skinning them and freezing them without fleshing them. That’s how I handle any furs I catch here at camp, I skin them and freeze them, then flesh and board them when I get back home to my fur shed.

I’ve decided I want to sell them at the June FHA sale. I contacted my agent, Brian Mohn and he tells me that as long as I have them to him by April 9, they will be in the June sale.

I won’t be getting home until April 1st or 2nd. I’m going to thaw them and get them fleshed while I’m still up here to save time. Then I only have to board them when I get home.

My question is, will five days be enough to dry them after they are on the boards? They will be in my warm fur shed with a fan running on high over them.

Also, will rubbing borax into the leather help speed up the process?

I use borax on fox around the ears and under the arms and sometimes on all the leather if I’m running short of boards. That does speed up the drying process quite a bit.

I have somewhere in the range of 325lbs of fresh and slightly tainted meat. A fair amount has the glands mixed in as well. I would rather sell in large batches or all at once. And avoid shipping if at all possible. I've already had one guy drive out from Illinois to buy 400lbs last month. $2.50/lb. Message me with any questions.

Here is a tool I came up with to help me get up from the floor when there is nothing around for me to grab and stand. They are turned from Delrin, the same material as police batons. Two staps allow it to be worn on your forearm for instant access. Also makes a good self defense tool. Front strap is lined leather with buckle to give a sturdy connection and rear strap is elastic with velcro closure for quick removal. The end is based on a goat hoof design, hard edges with soft interior to give a firm footing. 12 " long by 1" diameter. Weighs six ounces Price is $ 55

Here is a wood carving of an eagle feather. Due to being shaped like a feather it can move air and makes a dandy hand fan. Carved from Tuepelo and painted in acrylic gouache. So real looking they fooled the feds. I had one of these hanging in an Art Gallery in Helena MT. when the US Fish and Wildlife raided them. The agent grabbed one of my feathers untill the owner pointed out they are wood. Overall lenght aprox. 14 " Price is $150.00 Shipped in the US.

Anyone else here follow this guy?
He’s extremely interesting.
He goes to various places that were talked about in the Bible and makes some suprinsgly good stuff to back it up.
The one I watched last night was about golgatha,, were JESUS passed away on the cross.
There are currently 2 places in jeresulem that are to be that spot.

The one that is most convincing is a place that has had a few different churches built over it…what I found interesting was that the emperor Hadrian ordered a temple built over it that worshipped one of their deities as an intentional slap in the face . There’s still some remnants of that temple left. Hadrian had it built around 117 to 139 ad.. which would have been roughly 100 years after the crucification took place. Which in historical times,,, pretty recent. It’s without a doubt convincing evidence that The JESUS did indeed exist and died.

Another fascinating episode was about sodom and Gomorrah.
We all pretty much know that story.
He went into extreme detail and things I overlooked in the Bible…the Bible actually gives the location of 4 cities near the Dead Sea. 3 out of the 4 were destroyed by fire and sulfur…
He went to the one place, were lot and his daughters sought refuge in a cave… there was no evidence of any sulfur at all.
However in the other 3 cities. There’s tons of it, And undeniable evidence from the. Blackened charred soil of massive fires… and there’s still balls of sulfur all over those places.

I’d highly recommend you guys check him out.
