Case it then don’t worry about it. The pouch area is often weak.

Many of these skunk are probably going to end up as Mountain man/Davy Crockett type hats where the most important part is the white striped back so the black belly is not nearly so important. w

This guy was fat and sassy probably due to the easy winter we've had so far. Belly doesn't look too bad either.

This mornings catch, front and back. Nice, well striped back on that one. That's the color scheme & pattern the hat makers are looking for. I'd skin it for sure and fashion a generous inspection window on the belly side walleyed
