Otter Hide

(1/4) > >>

RidgeRunner:
Daddy just called.
He ran over an Otter just a few minutes ago.
The Otter is now laying on the top of daddy's well house.

I plan to skin the Otter when I get home from work.
Is there any thing that is different about skinning otters that I need to know?

uwe:
I would skin it like a muskrat.

Hillbilly:
Just case it out. They have scent glands near the anus like a mink or skunk, so don't poke a blade in there. :)

RidgeRunner:
Case Skin = 
1.  Cut through the hide just above each of the four feet.
2.  On the belly side, Cut up each back leg to the middle.
3.  Remove the hide much like taking a sock off.

Are the above steps correct?

How is the tail skinned?  Do I split it or try to case it out intake.


Will be on the lookout for the stink bombs Hillbilly.

Thanks
David

DanaM:
Tails you skin by rolling it off, but once its skinned you split it, if that makes sense :)
