Was going to post last night but I got back from checking traps late last night. Got 1 yote 1 huge weasel that kept escaping me and 20 rats.
Skinning at first takes time till you learn little tricks. A warm yote takes me 15 min to skin now and 5 min for a muskrat. I could do the rats quicker but I would start putting holes in them if I did. My problem is finishing the fur. I don't have time to flesh and put up on the boards. I skin and put it in the freezer but I got to get to it here soon and get some done.
