Fleshed and boarded in 14 minutes? I wish , just fleshed in 14 minutes. I watched a guy on YouTube who catches over 70 beaver doing a how to beaver fleshing video. A blanket took him 40 minutes so that made me feel better about my 14 minutes. I know there are guys that can do blankets In under 5.

Since they are buying beaver by the pound, why not only about 16 nails total? Plus why scape them completely clean, as long as the fat is off, leave that flesh around the head; it's all weight.

Or just take the $3 dock and not bother at all. It would take me 30 mins plus to flesh one, I've never been good at fur put up.

My friends that sold to Groeny averaged quite a bit less than I did with my put up pelts at auction. I like putting up fur and for roughly $14 more a pelt I'll sell them at my local auction. Did sell my last batch to a local buyer and I should have just sold them to Groeny. I probably made a few dollars more than he was paying but not much. I didn't want to save the pelts till next year's auction so I sold. I wish it only took15 minutes average for me to flesh a blanket. I don't time myself but that seems pretty quick to me.

I don't know anyone here that buys by the pound

If there is a machine that fleshes beaver in 3 minutes I want to see it. I believe there is a paul harvey version of that story.

I clean skin so it takes me zero seconds to flesh a beaver.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Where Groney really comes out on coon and beaver in the flesh, is dropping them all a size or two. Then it costs you more than $3.

I read some older thread about beaver put ups, I can’t see how folks can board a big beaver in five minutes. I figure a blanket sized beaver is gonna have a circumference of 113” ( P= 2 x 3.14 x 18” ). Nails at 3/4 “ spacing is 150 nails. I’d have to put in 30 nails per minute, one every two seconds. I’d have every finger busted with the hammer after the second beaver. Big… I use a loop stapler like the cable guys use for stapling the tv cable around in your house. They do not sink in all the way of course and a ground off screwdriver with a piece of metal tacked on for a prying point pops them out of the board in a heart beat when done. Osky
