This is the best tutorial on tanning a hide I have ever seem!

Might as well eat the damn dog smh

Ok Jeffrey dahlmer

You gotta be some type of evil eating otters. How the heck could you eat something so darn adorable and cute. Smh

Watched this from golden kamuy

Bro i got outta a video that was a otter crying about its owner leaving for a few days where you could see tears coming out, tjen my intrusive thoughts won and watched this

Super slick

I wanna eat one but where not allowed here in uk catch and release only

You have to find their.runs

I just did a video of me using this stuff for 3 black bears. Only stuff I've used.

Please don't eat otters

How about whale meat? They're often stuck on the beach. Might as well make whale meatloaf.

I have never done this many steps to tan a deer hide and mine are 20 plus yeats old

Good u tube site for beaver 🦫 is NB WILDMAN . 😊

Maine is known for wild lobsters 🦞 buddy . 😮

You can actually eat stinging nettles raw. Just roll the leaves a few times between your fingers and that will neutralize the stingers.

If you took a 2x4 and cut it so it looks like the letter A along the 3.5 inch side and made it four feet long. Next bury about a foot or two into the ground with the pointy side up you could work the hide over it while it is drying and it will come out soft and pliable.

Great video, thank you!

Understand concern of temp but cooking it to well done is why it tasted like liver. The way any protein tastes is all on how it is handled and prepared. Removing all fat, sinew, silver skin, and cooking to 140 degree, resting to allow to come up to 145 produces a subtle almost pork roast flavor. When handled correctly otter is some of the most versatile protein to cook with. Partially because it is so neutral in flavor. It really soaks up the seasonings or marinades well. Maybe something to think about and revisit later.

Ive preserved alot of pelts. I do several things different but it looks like it worked ok.

Do you want them fleshed so there is no white fat left on tail?

At what point do you wash the fur with dish soap?

Started tanning hides using an already old library book, lots of guess work, a few successes. I used a smooth cypress knee to work while drying. That was long before the internet. I was recently given a frozen beaver tail and find my interest in tanning reignited. Thanks for putting so much time and effort into this video. You're very succinct without being short on information. If you ever get to texas look me up, meanwhile I'll be enjoying your channel.

So glad to have found this video!

Thorough and informative! Thanks

That's how my dog tows his sled also. Subscribed. And some zones don't have any setback, you can set the lodge, den, or dam.

Maine is absolutely beautiful. I just wish it wasn't run by democrats.

How deep of water do u need for a drown set, I have a couple places that would be great but its only 2-3' deep

You’re a brave man doing all this in your kitchen! I am relegated to the garage and shed when dealing with pelts! Great video

You all done with KZbin bud?

Great video thanks

According to top, professional Brazilian waxers, it's important to have a tan beaver.

Thank you for the detailed video hard to find

If you make a cut , the middle is still green and you can do nothing with without redo processes

You ever use that loose meat in the underside of the throat area? Always wondered if it was edible...doesnt feel very meaty...more snot like. As for the burger... I find .32 ounces of seasoning per pound and no one cares about the taste of beaver fat

That meat is so red

Excellent video 👍🏻

This appears to have been done in a domestic kitcnen and on the dining table. God bless your mother or wife ! Else you are a bachelor …

That is NOT a pickle. It’s just salt. You need to add acid to make a pickle solution.

Good job guy! Mainer here too just getting into trapping and enjoying the beaver-education

Hey bud, do you sell your hides? If so, is there a way I can contact you one on one?

that was a good video thanks

Excellent! Where’s Dog’os share? He (she?) was paying close attention 😂❤

When trapping beaver under these conditions, don't rely only on Castor lure and old chew locations. Use a lot of eye appeal at each set. For example, traps set at old "Crawl Outs' should be slicked up with fresh mud and freshly peeled sticks or hatchet choppins and castor.. At other locations, pile up some fresh mud about a foot high and finish off with castor lure and some freshly peeled sticks. If you only rely on Castor lure, the lure is only as good as the wind direction. If the wind is blowing back up over the set, the beaver will swim right past your set all night long without even knowing it's there. Eye appeal is huge in beaver trapping. Also, Maine recently went with a five foot rule for all beaver and rat trapping. That is 5 feet from dam, lodge, bank den, and another trappers trap.

Mainer all my life. You remind me of about twenty people I went to high school with, its kind of nostalgic. Keep up the good work man. Also, maybe some videos processing and cooking squirrel. Or cooking anything, really, I love those videos.

When you defrost do you defrost in the fridge or in room temp? I have a green beaver in the freezer I need to flesh and salt and tan

Your wife must very understanding to let you do it in the kitchen. Mine not so understanding lol

I would respectfully suggest that you would have a lot more fun if you all got out of the vehicle, into the woods, and try to shoot grouse in the air. It may be legal to do what you are doing, but I personally wouldn’t go about it that way.

Hail happens in thunderstorms in the summer. Sleet is ice pellets falling from the sky in winter.

i use a belt sander to thin the pelt, it makes the pelt very soft.
