Hi Birddog The blue english fleshing kit is in the TPC.As for muddy coon.I rinse them with the hose,hang to dry alittle before i skin them.Once their skinned I comb them out and if there is still mud in the fur.I will wash them in the wash tub with vo5 shampoo.hang to dry and flesh them out.Real nice looking coon and works for fox too.FIREFOX

for 130.00 from otter creek you get a beam stand fleshing beam and a necker. 140.00 gets you a caribou knive instead of the necker

I realy don't understand the benifit to the Blue English system. How do you re adjust the hide as you flesh? On a convential beam with just a quick move of the knife the hide Is moved to a new postion. Not trying to cut into your profits Galen. But If you need a fleshing beam that's all you need Is a saw mill slab and a little work you will have a beam. Or like I did go down and buy a 2x8 and shape It with a plane. I have mine set up with a large hinge that I mount On my work bench or the wall and just place a saw horse under It to hold It In postion. The smaller beam shown Is used for rats.It just clamps to my bench. thebeav.topcities.com/GaryPics/beams.jpgBeav

If you use a bean correctly and mount it to fit you you will never have back troubles i do a lot of coon per year and i never have had truoble. now the english system means you are reaching and your arms will get tried fast of being high or close to your hearts level

I replied "some" because I sell all my coon green. This year I'd like to try putting some up.

how much do you flesh a grinner, last year i did a few for practice and i think i did them too much. the hair could be pulled thru the shin in the inside. i got a whole $0.10 for one and $0.75 for the other. the ones i have now are much larger and very prime. i didn't scrape much off this time, just the loose grissely fat. it that the right thing to do? or will they go bad and slip?

Seems strange trappers not handling their own fur. Back in the '60's when I was learning to trap the old fellow who taught me if I wanted him to teach me the first thing I had to do was to learn to skin and flesh out fur. One winter after school I would stop by the local domino parlor, Charley's hang out. I spent many evening skinning 'coons and coyotes. To me it just seems the natural thing.
