HELP!!!
« on: November 06, 2005, 06:37:39 AM »
I need to know if a buyer would be crazy enough to buy skunk in the hoof because I usally dont take the skunks I catch but I had nothing else to  skin so I tried and guess what I hit the glands and almost lost my lunch right in the furshed so If buyers wont take them what are some scent free tips on handling theses things?
thanks
total for this year so far
3 grinners
2 coyotes
4 coons and
1 skunk

 so far :grin:

Hi 17
 well  ya dont have to get all the fur  cut out around the glands i leave a spot the size of my fist if need be. and DONT hang them by there back feet to skin unlessin ya want a face full a essence. I lay them flat on a table or log  make my cuts up along the fur lines of the back legs. then i cut to the base of th tail out around the glands.  gentley pull the fur upthe legs to a safe area on both sides. once above the hips yer in a safe spot to have a place to pull the fur. once skinned put them on a beam usually i use a big spoon to flesh them with or to get the most part of the fat off. Hope this helps.  RayA
