What do you use to get blood out of your fur? Specifically fox furs

Borax is what I use for Coons and Coyotes. Sprinkle bunch on, let stand over night, brush off.

Depends on how much.If it a few spots just dilute it with a spray bottle of water and wipe\squeeze it out with a shop towel.Then when it dries on the board fur out,it can be brushed out.If there is a lot of blood in the underfur,on a large part of the pelt,best to wash in cold water,then roll it in a towel fur out and wring it out until just damp,then board.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

When using borax simply hand wash excessive blood clot areas, wiped the area as dry as possible with a rag then board the pelt as usual. Once the skin as dried and the fur turned out work considerable dry borax powder into the stained areas, let set for 10-15 minutes and then comb, brush, and shake the borax out. Using this borax treatment method works extremely well as can be seen in the following before and after pictures. As well as removing blood stains the borax also cleans and brightens the fur.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
