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.

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

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.
