Uploaded by sovereignbum on Jun 10, 2011
The first episode of this outdoor sportsman's show features master trapper John Hopple as he traverses in and around the Black Hills of western South Dakota. We follow John as he tracks, traps and removes problem species and varmint. In the final segment of our first episode, John shows us how he prepares the pelts for market as well as the different tools he uses in fleshing. Some images may not be suitable for all viewers.

Excellent job, I watched all 5 parts and found it really informative! I've recently gotten into fur trapping, myself. Only here in Florida we can't use steel traps, only cage traps. But the info on scouting and finding animal sign, and fur handling, can certainly be applied for any type of trapping!

Do you tan your hides at all?
flyndublin 1 month ago
@flyndublin I do not tan them. They are sold as "raw". which means fat scraped off and dried. Some folks sell them "green" or "in the round" to local buyers. Meaning skinned only (green) or not skinned (in the round), just the whole animal. There are some who do tan thier hides and sell them at craft/outdoors shows. Lately mountain man conventions are making a big come back!

i strech it but when i take it off i try to turn it right side out and it rips every time.

@bmxshreders13579 For furs that are turned you usually do them in 24-48 hours. They are mostly your "non-fat" animals and they dry very quickly. You can turn them with little to no problem as long as you do it with in that time frame. After that they are very brittle and will crack or rip. To avoid that you can soak in water and that will losen it.
