Mink Fur Handling for Beginners!

If your wondering How to Skin, Flesh, and stretch your mink I provide a brief video to just show how I do it at a slow easy to follow pace explaining what I am doing and why. This is not the only way, but this is how I do it, for preparation of tanning. I have not sold fur in years and just prefer to tan them myself for my own satisfaction so this means if it goes to market there area a few other steps to do. Thanks for watching.
Many more trapping videos in my trapping playlist.

Great video! Thanks for sharing, I always wondered how it's done.

thanks for watching

[@FarmallFanatic]

Skinned many in my day. Nice how to video!

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Thank you so much, if it was defrosted would have gone much easier, but was able to go slow enough for new trappers to understand the basics. Thanks for watching.

That’s great to hear congrats to them

I've watched this video several times over the years lol I don't catch many mink... I always enjoy it though, you do a great job

Thank you!

Nicely done, and congrats on being monitzed

Thank man really appreciate the support

[@Ifitfitz22]

My dad used to trap way back when and I think he trapped a mink or two but mostly just got muskrats haha. Cool video man!

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Thanks so much for sharing and watching, yea I mean most regions you get 25 to 1 rats to mink, but my region is high mountains so we do not have cattail swamps and leaves us with mink and no rats. I usually dont catch many mink per season but I am happy when I do.

[@lukasbejcek8841]

@@paparomesoutdoors711 A great job! Have a good luck! Mink fur is a gorgeous material. I like to buy fur garments or animal hides for decoration (fox, badger...) and videos like yours make me admire furriers’ skills. You process an "ordinary" beast into something that can decorate people or their homes. It is a hard but, in fact, a beautiful work although not for everyone.

[@truenorthangler]

You’re pretty good at what you’re doing. That was awesome.

Thanks man really appreciate your support. Hope all is well

[@chrisstreet1994]

Hi, great video! I was wondering if you have a video on how you tanned the mink? I want to tan the mink I trapped just for me.

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Chris Street not yet I haven’t created one but was thinking about it are you brain tanning or store bought?

[@chrisstreet1994]

Thanks for the response! I was thinking store bought. It’s fairly easy to find the deer hunter tanning formula but I’ve never used it. What way do you prefer? What way would produce the best results?

[@TexasMadeFood]

Nice video

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

thank you

[@precisionanglingYT]

Great tutorial!! I tried skinning a coyote that a buddy shot. Wanted to make a bomber hat out of it. Long story short, it was an epic fail.

[@AOKUrbanHomestead1]

Another fantastic video my friend. I need to get a tail stripper.

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

I gotta admit im not the best with a tail stripper, my brother loves it, but I was taught with criss crossing two nails in your knuckles and doing it that way or just my fingers seem to work better for me. I ripped a fox tail once and was so upset lol. Thanks for the support

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good video

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Appreciate it, the Trapping them is a much better video but I do appreciate it a lot.

[@hamidhami3473]

Nice video, Dude what the titles of all the musics you used in background

[@springharn22]

Hi do you know how to get something sticky off my mink fur coat. Im not sure what it is candy maybe. Thank you

[@VicsYard]

Thanks for sharing. I need some of them knifes. Most of my stuff is for deer. Any special place you get them? Vic

[@VicsYard]

After further review. I need some tools. Lol

[@CoffeyOutdoors]

awesome

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Thanks guys

[@bradp6821]

If your fur is wet do you still put it on stretcher like that- will it dry out?

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

I dry it out if there is snow I rub it in or I whip it a certain way to remove the water then if need be I comb and fluff it before it drys

[@raydowdy6914]

How many Mink do you trap in a season

[@manularcher8436]

Salut mon ami très belle vidéo à gros like à toi à bientôt

[@ODSTBanjo]

Cool

[@poorhotrodder]

How about videos on how u tan ur hides

[@paparomesoutdoors711]

Thank you, your the first one to ask about that. I was not going to do that but since you asked I will make one. That wont be until april though once my season is over I will do a step by step process of it. Maybe ill do a brain tan earlier well see. Thanks for the request.

[@zombie-v9i]

Do you eat the meat or do you chuck it away

[@nightrunner3701]

Chucked, or bait, or compost, and yes the "wasting" of carcass is 100% justified.

[@zombie-v9i]

@@nightrunner3701 is the meat not good

[@nightrunner3701]

@@zombie-v9i i have not heard of, or spoken to a trapper who ate mink. Mink are in the weasel family, as are skunks, all weasels have an oily stench that gets into the meat. And all unclean/carnivorous animals have parasites and diseases.
