- This is a real time of me skinning and fleshing coon. Its not very instructional, but shows the average pace that I hold every night in the skinning room. I had alot of request for the video so here it is.
- แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I am 24 years old and began trapping with my father for the first time just two years ago. Learned general trapping basics from my father who grew up trapping as a kid. I immediately fell in love with not only the physical and mental aspects of it, but the history and heritage of it as well.
Did not run a line last year, but this year I am now 4 days into the season of running a trap line over hundreds of acres of PA farm land. Targeted cyotes and coon my first year (two years ago) at the end of the season where snow made a major impact on my success. I am currently skinning, fleshing, and boarding everything that I catch and simply cannot believe the work and effort that it takes to be a successful and responsible trapper. I have caught 10 raccoon, a red fox, and now a skunk. All of which were caught for the first time by myself.
Thank you for your informative videos for they help immensely and I would also like to thank my father and the trapping community as a whole for the support through my journey as a new trapper. I wouldn't be where I am at without you guys.
I've seen lots of videos on skinning and fleshing, and I even bought a DVD showing a well known professional trapper on how to put up fur. Your videos are by far the most informative and in depth that I have seen. I've been looking at the comments, watching for any negative remarks and everybody is positive and just as amazed as I am. We need more people interested in trapping and this is just the thing they should see. Keep up the great work! By the way, could you give us totals on your fur catch this year? Thanks!
I have said this many times but I deleted my channel so my comments are all gone but you have the best fur handling videos on youtube. I have watched your videos for years. You have taught me everything I know about putting up fur and the whole reason I put up fur. Keep it up brother thanks for all the great info youve shared over the years.
I'M GONNA TAKE A WILD GUESS AND SAY YOU MAY HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE. WOW GIT-R-DONE BROTHER. GREAT JOB MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS
contreeman thanks. yeah done a few
You sure have yourself set up as far as equipment. To me the most valuable is the fleshing beam. This really is key to fleshing the animal correctly and efficiently. Not sure who taught you all this but am so impressed! (I don't think I've seen a better fur handler)
nevrbluffs right on a good fleshing beam that fits the knife is key. Im self taught. thanks for the kind words.
Dam Dude you are on fire .Nice job and thanks for the videos.
Fox Harbor Archers thanks
Like to buy a couple furs off you
That was quick. Great job. Thanks for the video.
Larry342516 thanks
Just getting into trapping this will be my first year giving it a go. Love all your videos I've learned alot from so many of them thank you thank you. I was curious what do you do with the carcass of your critters after you skin them?
Very nice video. I like how you use the bar to free up the leg skin. I learned a new trick. Thanks!
+Michael Brigman thanks
Nice job. I'm already planning construction of a skinning machine Merry Christmas and new year. Keep piling up the fur
Huntnfishnuts thanks. merry christmas to you as well
Thanks for the videos. Merry Christmas!
Sam Rickrode thanks. Merry Christmas to you as well
Wow you definitely know what your doing. Keep up the good work thanks for sharing.
+Shoot'em Game Birds thanks
Love your videos! I don't have a fleshing knife so what should I use, I have a dull machete would that work or should I use something else?
I have to catch up on a few things again with you buddie . I always fail on a fleshing job .
Very nicely done, I've never used a rod for the legs and tails but will in the future, that was slick. What fleshing knife are you using?
NLGhostWolf the knife in this video is a post
thanks
Awesome job buddy and y'all have a Merry Christmas
Kansastrapper thanks. you to
If you had to pick your favorite fleshing knife which would it be and maybe a quick reason why. Thanks, glad to see the fur ain't slowing down too much on ya.
Grothok Shmothok my favorite knife, is the one i feel most comfortable with. im going to do a video shortly with all the different styles. and unbiased reviews on each.
Ok one more question...that fleshing beam... I'm just curious if you have a video that explains what size you would need and how to actually make your own?
Quick question Ik it’s been awhile since you made this video how long after I skin one do I need to get it to someone who can finish the process
Dayum’ you are good Man!
impressive to say the least nice job
Merry Christmas.
Is it easier to flash an animal when it’s cold or warm
Very impressive
Washed and hung up some hides hair side out. Temps were warm so I put a fan on them. Part of the inside has a little crackle. They’re in fridge cooling for fleshing. Do I need to rehydrate and how?
Impressive!
So what if you have a couple bobcats in the freezer that were just skinned and rolled, what would a guy need to do to get them fleshed out
Wow that was pretty quick.
I have a necker 600 knife, doesn’t hold an edge real well. Do you have a good (not the best) knife recommendation? Thanks
What is the best way to dispatch a skunk?
If I wanted to make my own wooden stretcher. .. does it matter if it's bass wood, pine, ect? Do you recommend putting certain fur on certain wood? Does it even matter? Keep the videos coming.
Luke Leonard any wood will do. basswood is ideal because of its softness and lack of knots. that being i use alot of pine boards because they are readily available. basswood is hard to find in my area
What do you use to make your intros? O.o
What do you doing the carcasses
The guy's a pro.
Great stuff and thanks for sharing. Later buddy and Marry Christmas to you and your family.
NSTRAPPERHUNTER thanks. Merry Christmas to you as well
Damn thats fast lol good job brother hows your prices looking out there this time of the year
rebelblood95 haven't sold anything yet, but looks to be a crappy year.
What do you do with the meat?
I noticed that you werent using your necker knife, what is your prefered fleshing knike
NADJIWON CRITTERCONTROL my prefered knife is the one that I feel my comfortable with. I'm going to do a video on fleshing knives shortly
Dumb question. What do you do with the carcass when you're done skinning it? Do you just haul them into the woods and dump them or is there a value somewhere somehow? I know farm animals around here are taken to a rendering plant where they're turned into dog food - was wondering if that's a thing for these as well.
I have a question,can you freeze an animal skin for a year and it be good the next year?
Lannie Ellis if wrapped in plastic to prevent freezer burn. also makes sure its legal in your area to hold over fur.
Where do you get your supplies
After you skin them how long to you wait to flesh them? Where do you keep them in that time?
Slave2Outdoors I flesh the following evening. cool them in the fridge first
Профи, красавчик.
That's how to do it .Merry Christmas
TimberLineNorth thanks. Merry Christmas to you as well
Just joined your patreon page skinning squirrels tonight
Do you eat the meat?
Where did you get that fleshing board from
+H.T.F. farmboy I made it.
@@CoonCreekOutdoors do you know anyone who sells the fleshing boards like you use?
What kind of fleshing knife were you using? Didn't look like your normal necker knife
It looks like a post. My uncle bought one last year and let me borrow for a day so I could try it on beaver. Probably the best flesher there is IMO. Very sharp and holds a good edge for a long time.
Where can you get one ?? And how much???
Aaron Andrson that knife is a Post knife.
Aaron Andrson look on there wed site. they have there there us dealers listed.
That's a demo, my goodness. Man put on a clinic.
Wow your really fast.....
What do you do with the animals that have skin problems? One of the raccoons in the beginning looked like it had a pink rash on it. Yesterday I trapped my first fox (the one in my pic) which was awesome but soon enough I realized he had no fur on his tail and it looked like he had leprosy because from his tail to his hind legs his skin was rotting. Pretty sad. There's no way I was keeping that fur.
UrbanHunterz never really had any problems with the skin. the red is just a little blood that got transferred from my apron. mange is a different thing entirely
Takes me 20 minutes to do what you did in 2
