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.
