Fur handling tips?

If you have a local buyer give him a call and see what he buys green. You will get much less for it green.

Coon, otter and beaver are a whole differnet story because of the difficulty of putting them up correctly as far as fleshing goes. You probably won't get docked by over fleshing the fox. It just lets the pelt feel thin and crinkly if you take off all the flesh.

On a mink you never take the flesh off the front shoulders as they will definately dock you for that. They want that red flesh on there. Just make sure and get the grease off. As they dry you can wipe them with a rag to get the grease that shows up on the surface. Tack all tails open so they can dry right.
