first fur 2011
set a few sets behind the house. well, 30 yards from the bedroom window.
picked up a boar coon in a cage. fish head under the trap, one inside the trap.
then a snared sow. running a trail along a swamp edge.
let them drop the fleas tonight, skin tomorrow, flesh and board sunday.
feels good to get some fur on the boards.

Re: first fur 2011
How do you process the fur? Tanning I assume? I would like to know how you do it. Maybe a how-to? That would be awesome!

Re: first fur 2011
skin, then let it hang for a day so the fat sets up.
then flesh
then on the board to dry.
i sell dry pelts to the country fur buyer near me.
he sells at big auctions around the world.
i'll have to take some pictures during the skinning and fleshing and post them up. hard to mess with it when your hands are covered with coon grease.

Re: first fur 2011
I miss trapping.. Nice coon you got. You like skinning them things cold?
A buck will see you three times, and hear you twice, but he's only gonna smell you once.

That is really cool. I would definitely appreciate a step by step. I am very interested in old school outdoors stuff. Probably why I shoot a recurve and am learning to tan hides and such.

Re: first fur 2011
first stop, my bait thief.
made this crossover set yesterday.
reset that log on both ends today.
had a coyote follow my tracks to a coyote snare. he dropped off a sign in a boot track for me. didn't follow me to the snare though. put down some uring and a call lure up high for him. hope he comes around again tonight.

Re: first fur 2011
trying to get a mink on the long weekend.
set the end of a wing dam at the begining of the bridge.
other side
another bottom edge set on the wing dam.
now it's a waiting game for a mink to work the bottom edge.
we don't have big mink numbers around me, but a few are around.
check the short line tomorrow morning, muzzy hunting for deer in the afternoon.
