Does anyone have a picture of what the saddle looks like on muskrat? I got my first one today and I am not sure if I pulled it off or left it on because I don't even know what it is.
Thanks Nick

It looks great. . . just no saddle. DIdn't know anything about it. Honestly, still not really sure what it looks like when properly fleshed with the saddle on. . .

had a guy give me 3 rats today 1 he skinned & stretched all i can say is it would have been better if i had done it from scratch, & i am no expert left all fat on & meat, lip was not on end piece. lots of work to get rat back in shape , this person said he trapped when was younger,when they took fur to buyers & theydid all the skinning &stretching.
