One of the BEST posts ever!
Once got 84 in a few days, with only 4 traps!
As soon as one got caught,the others would start eating on it!
Then I bought a couple cases of DCON!
Place smelled HORRIBLE for about 6 months.

Is that stretcher made to NAFA specs? If not you are going to take a hit on your fur check! LOL

A wonderful post from a consummate trapper with an unquiet mind. Absolute genius. What do you recommend for a fleshing beam?

Can I get enough to put together a fur coat for my cats, please.?
They get cold during the winter and another fur coat might help.

Possum, you'll get more money for those if you'd use wire instead of wood.

Maybe you should do a mouse video as a fund raiser.

Well, I'll be!
When I was a kid, dad told me, when he was a kid, he caught and skinned a mouse then used a pop sickle stick as a stretcher. I figured he was pulling my leg! Guess he was on the up and up.
Nice job, but I can not figure what type of knife you used. Perhaps an Exacto with a number 11 blade?
Have you tried skinning one open like a beaver? I see possibilities here for some real money at trapper's conventions.
Put together a few pelts, both open and cased. A little pamplet on the proper skinning and drying of the pelt. Maybe even go so far as to introduce a snare for mice. Or Bill Crum might make an RBG for mice.
You might be the next Bill Gates!
