Tried fleshing a pelt for the first time...not good. Looked like I ran it over a few times with three bladed plow.
I have talked to numerous people about this and have gotten many different suggestions. A taxidermist I talked too says he fleshes on flat hard surface, no beam with a 4" paring knife. My boss, an old trapper says he never fleshed, just skin, sew, stretch/dry and ship.
I read on your site, RR, that you only request the pelts stretched/dried and your price includes fleshing? What about a fur buyer, are most the same. I probably won't sell too many if any, it depends on how much work is involved. But I'd like to have a few tanned.
Sorry so long.
