Not sure which number is wrong. Here's a link to the National Skinning Championships, and the girls who compete.

After taking 10 years off, Ted Abbott has come back to reclaim the title of the nation's best muskrat skinner.

Abbott, claimed the honor by skinning five muskrats in 1 minute 25 1/2 seconds Saturday night at the 46th annual National Outdoor Show in Golden Hill on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Abbott, 51, is a home renovation contractor from Fishing Creek, Md

Victor Hindergart was the ol guy I sold to (long gone also).Told me I did a dandy job fleshing one of my favorite compliments in life said my Dad showed me how, used a ax. His ol shack was a little rank also. Anyway I was maybe a freshman I was over there and there was something hanging in the chicken wire ceiling. Vick what's that? I'ts a coon dick makin a toothpick I said boy I better have 3
Told my dad about it, still ain't sure if anybody ever really used them. I always thought be kind of fun to have one to just to lone out.

Once you use a Shefield fleshing knife you will think you died and went to heaven. I was first shown one 20 years ago and that's all I have used ever since. You can flesh out a coon in a minute, beaver in about 3-4. Check out my friends site, he traps hard all season, state hops, also runs Jadg terriers. www.rktraplineproducts.com I must say Rich has some of the finest baits bar none. I believe Rich did about 1100 coon in 28 days trapping NE.

As for the coon pecker tooth pick yep they still sell them at the trapping conventions.

Also 'coon dicks' are worn around the neck as a virility charm. I've seen replicas in both silver and gold.
