nice buck mink. pretty lucky catching him in a colony trap bottom edge set. congrats
keep at it. It's harder and a lot more work than people think. get geared up for next year and get an earlier start. usually after hunting season for me which is around 12/1 (fur is starting to prime up anyway) I know you started pretty late. pm me if you have any questions
So still nothing to add to the collection..But I did finally skin my mink last night and let me tell ya, That was a learning experience for sure. Wound up ripping the last 2 inches or so of the tail completely off Took me probably an hour just to skin that thing but I must say other then the tail it came out great, No holes, Got the full lip, ears, eyes cut perfect. Definetly cut through the scent glands in the back Still not completely sure where they are or what they look like but let me tell ya, That's one heck of a smell lol. Goodthing I was outside. Gonna just keep the pelt for myself since its my first one so not too concerned about how good/bad I did but I do want to get it tanned.. Anyone know the going price for that and where to get it done? Im in the Spanaway/Graham/Roy/Yelm area. Also, If Im not mistaken, It was a pretty big mink. I bought all the assorted mink board sizes from FNT post and out of the biggest board, He almost stretches the whole thing and probably could fit a wider board. Ill try to get a length later.
