Make sure you make the money cut... you don't skin a coon the way you skin a deer.... go ankle to ankle across the underside of the legs... not up the backs of the legs to the anal opening!
You will make WAY more money putting up your own fur.... like 5-6 times more. But the payout isn't instant like it is with a country buyer. Sometimes $5 now seems better than $25 in May.... but it isn't.
