You peel them and have them on the board in about 6 mins. Back in the day when I was a kid I met and old timer "Andy" who showed me the ropes of hounds and skinning. It wasn't until I got out of college and paid a few western long liners to showme how to really catch fur. Then it was Andy doing my skinning for many years, I can remember backing in with my truck and unloading a bed full of fur. Then when the fur market crashed everyone stopped trapping and I kept at it. My catch doubled with so few trappers. But even today with a busy business taking me into the heart of NYC I still find the time every fall to go back to my roots of havesting fur.
You put the time in on the off season runs like this state hopping can be done in short order.
