if you dont know how to flesh and stretch, you have to learn. im not good at fleshing so i wont attempt to tell you how...stretching requiers properly sized stretchers for the critter you have...

you also must be GOOD at fleshing and stretching and skinning and know how your fur buyer wants and likes things done.

if you dont skin, flesh and stretch like they want, they wont buy them or you will hardly get paid for them.

depending on how much fur you put up a year, it may or may not be worth learning to flesh and stretch...you need time, tools, fleshing beam, stretchers, place to dry them etc...if you only kill a furbearer or 2 or 5 a year, it probably isnt worht it....you dont see THAT much more money....then again we would kill 100 coon a year and not flesh or stretch any of them. we were bringin home a few a night...just no time and not worth it to flesh and stretch them all. dad flesh and stretched the REAL good sized ones just to see TOP dollar.

if you dont kill alot a year, or dont want to bother fleshing and stretching and drying, you can learn to skin properly(fairly simple) and then roll up the hide right off the carcass and freeze it. check with your fur buyr, but that should be fine..weve done it with coon hides for alot of furbuyers.

a tail stripper and a knife is all thats needed to skin. i havent came across a good website and never got books or anything so i cant help there...i was taught by dad and my buddy...but there are books and videos out there on skinning and fur handling...
