Started putting up some rats today, first time I've ever done them. I'm using an old wooden board and a hog scraper to flesh them. If I put the scraper in a vise and file it a bit to make the edge just a little more square (sharper) will it work better or will I just cut holes in the hide. Did six today and seemed like it took more effort then it should of.

I use an old serving spoon. Works well.

Just make sure the hog scraper is dull and it'll work good. That's what I'm using to scrape mine.

i have used one of those plexiglas ice scrapers for years now. i'm sure it has scraped a couple thousand rats and i only have .99 cents invested.
