i have skint a skunk before. Back when we were early teens my brother our best frend and I found a road kill skunk that did not stink. Bein kuntry boy an needin the money we proceeded to skin it. My brother held it while Mark and I skint it. We were makin the last pull when my brother dropped the skunk. The sent bag burst open. needless to say we slept,ate and bathed and lived out side for a while an then some. Also Granny made us burn our clothes.

That'll be a good looking bag too, with a fox, or yote. What you going to do, trap them, or shoot them.

mason0366, no I buy them. Most are commercial although I do have friends that do braintain and smoking and such. Some of them are tanner by profession. The fox and yote heads I refered to are commercial also. this is just a hobby for me an I am not near as good as my mentors.

Actualy I bought the rabbit skins at hobbylobby along with other materal becouse I wanted to try to do some of the things that my mentors were talkng about on another forum.as I get better I plan to obtain some braintan deer or elk and make a mountainman outfit. Also plan to get a kit and build a left hand precusion mountain rifle. Dont know why but the old ways always appealed to me. Feel at times I was born a couple hundred years too late.
