Hi Ya'll .I'm a fairly new trapper, and I had just got done taking a fur of the stretcher. And there is fur poking threw on the skin side or the pelt. I have never seen this before. Can someone tell if this happens often or if I did something wrong. Any feed back would help. Thank You.

Where/when/how'd you come by them? Were they frozen, or roadkill, or from last year and you're just now taking them off the stretcher? Maybe quite blue, thin skin; that'd make matters a lot worse.

Its not in all that bad of shape, just a little spot were the fur is thin that's all. I thought about tanning it my self but not sure how. I trap most of my coons in woods just off of a corn field. I did freeze some of them ,when family things came up and did have much time. This one was frozen from last year. What that a bad idea to freeze them?

Its hard to scrape early season coon right. Soon, if not already, they will be primed up and you wont have that problem. I have had the same problem many times. Get some possum and practice on those. I am not joking, they are thin skinned and if you can flesh those u are good.
