Trough does me no good. It slows me down to much. I like to be able to flip and spin the beaver fast when Im skinning. Clean skinning Id say it helps a lot. I rough skin so it slows me down.

I used to skin on a table. Trough is MUCH better. It keeps the beaver from rolling. Mine is nothing special..made of scrap 3/4" plywood and I put it on the table. I'd guestimate it has taken 5 minutes off per beaver skinned.

You guys with troughs skin sitting down on a chair?
I tried one It added 10 min to my skinning time LOL
I have a bench with a 2x4 nailed up on edge. It's located right at the front edge of my bench. I pull the beaver up against the 2x4 and just let the hide hang over the edge as I skin. The weight of the hide keeps the beaver In place as I go . When I'm half way I just spin the carcase.
Man If the trough would take 5 min off my skinning time I could skin one In O time LOL

mine are built so I can sit down on any 5 gal. bucket to work on them. The height is just right for me. Keeps the back in better shape while sitting then standing for hours on end skinning a pile of flat tails.I have a foam deer stand type of seat pad I put on the bucket to keep the buttocks from getting those circles embedded from the bucket bottom into your south end permenantly.Talk about a bulls eye. \:\)

Yep BULLS EYE BOB LOl

Hal Sullivan once said It took him a minute per pound to skin a beaver I told him I would hang up my beaver traps If It took me that long. With a 15 beaver day he would never get out of the shed LOL
With the right system and some on hands Instruction and lots of practice anyone on this forum should be able to skin a beaver In less then 8 min with out breaking a sweat.
