    just got back from my first 3 day trapping workshop yesterday and although they showed us how to do all of this, seeing it done in a small space with basic, household tools is really helping my confidence. i don't have a gambrel, a dedicated area to do all this or even a fleshing board (yet-- i plan to build one). i actually live in an urban area without much space or a backyard. your channel actually came recommended by one of the volunteer instructors from the workshop and i'm glad it was. after the workshop, i was worried i wouldn't have the confidence to go out and run traps again on my own, but this has really helped me feel like i can. thanks so much.

  • @hankvana2149
    @hankvana2149 Před 2 lety

    Thanks much! This is very helpful! I tie fishing flies and occasionally prepare critter hides. I've always found coon tails to be challenging because of how difficult it is to remove all the fat and oil from the skin. I was surprised that, beyond removing the bone, you didn't do any work on the tail. I scrape as best I can and cure with borax (or a salt and borax) then, when dried, wash the tail in warm soapy water to get as much oil out of the fur and the skin. Because there is no post-processing or tanning I need to get the tail as clean as possible to minimize any greasy smell. Do you have any suggestions or comments that might help with oily skinned critters? I have a couple of tails in the freezer and would appreciate some help.

    • @jeremybrownfield1025
      @jeremybrownfield1025 Před 2 lety

      Can't answer your question but I'd avoid washing in warm water always use cold the warm water will cause the tail to slip because of bacteria

    From an over the hill trapper, a tail stripper will save you valuable time. Very simple to make one. With a solid skinning rack, once you get the tail freed up, you can wrap that hide and pull it all the way to the shoulders using your body weight.

I used dog scrap from our house dogs as an attractant I thought you had said a coyote is no different than your house dogs but it's wild and what does your dog do if it smells another dogs crap. He's gotta go sniff it. It worked for me. Of course my wife got a kick out of me picking up dog dirt with a sandwich bag. Love your videos

We do have coons, but I mostly see them around parks and near roads where it's not safe to shoot them. Next time I go up to the National Forrest I'll keep my eye out for one. Maybe ask some of the people that own land if they know where they are.

    Question: Now what?
    How does the fur buyer want to receive the skins for purchase?
    Fur side showing?
    Skin side showing?
    Do you soften before the sale?
    Can each skin touch each other in storage or must it be separate from each other?
    Is temperature alone enough or should you have a fan blowing on the skins for air circulation?
    How should you store the skins? In a bag, in a box, wrapped in a blanket, Hanger only, etc?
    Can the dried skins reabsorb moisture in the air and become rotten?
    Will bugs get into the skin or fur after they are dried?
    As always, awesome video.
