Smossy wants to know if you cut off the testicles when skinning a mink?

I've never really thought about it, but if you're case skinning it, do it like anything else.  If I'm correct, they have a penis bone like raccoons.

He said he pulled it out. The testies are still on the outside of the fur though and attached to the main skin  :dunno: cut all that fur off? I think you do because there's still flesh in there so I think it'd rot or something.

Carefully flesh it with a spoon.  I've done a couple skins for the local biologist that donates them to schools and that's what I've done.

For the fur trade you can just cut them off.
