Would be willing to teach the basics to a youngster (or not so youngster) in the Mexico area. I run both land and water (mostly on foot), make bait and lures and put up my own fur. Most importantly, enjoy the outdoors and have FUN!

I can't provide the kinda help you need!! Hey Mike, You sure you want to get involved with this group of nuts?? Artie helped me with beaver this spring. I've trapped since I was a kid but never beaver. Artie and I worked out a deal. I trapped em and he skinned em. I think I got the better end of the deal!! Sorry Art.

Jack i will second that i can't give you the help either art, the dwarf lepercan is a skinning machine though, did he let you keep the glands ? that is where the money is , beaver i caught,skinned & put up 18 last spring & 85 rats , no problem , if you need a hand on the yotes & fox give me a call not that hard to me a yote takes as long as a beaver & the fleshing is about the same, you just have to love what you do.
