I just got done fleshing my first two coons ever. And I noticed when you get the muscle and all the easy fat off. Then your left with that layer of fat that is tight to the hide. Are you done fleshing or do you take that off also. Because I left most of it on the belly, I saw some hair come through in places were i took that layer off. And I know that's not a good sign. Do you guy's leave that on or take that off. I think that it would be better on than off so not to cut the hair, i think they will take it down to were they want it after tanning right.
