[QUOTE="AER244, post: 3987912, member: 48618"] So I happened upon a roadkilled otter today. It was in incredibly good shape. It hadnt been dead long. Almost zero hide damage. I called the local GW and he got it tagged for me. I’ve always wanted an otter pelt but never felt too good about killing one just to kill one and have it- they’re just too cool and fun to watch. I’ve also never had a problem with one, but I know they wreak havoc on ponds/small fisheries. Anyway, now I have my otter, and my question is this- have any of you cleaned/fleshed/dried an otter before? Is it any easier or worse than bobcat/coon/coyote? Im wanting to keep the feet on the hide. In what little reading I’ve done, having the correct sized board is pretty necessary, and I don’t have an otter length board. I also don’t have much free time these days, so I’m also considering hiring someone to “put this up” for me. Do any of you have a good recommendation for an otter skinner? Also, shout out to Chris Stover, the stephens county game warden, he went pretty above and beyond for me on this. I didn’t wanna put the otter in my truck knowing that it was out of season, so I just drug it off to the side of the road. I called him, and he asked me where it was so he could go pick it up and tag it for me. He had it tagged waiting for me on my way back to Okc. He was extremely nice and accommodating and I appreciated his help very much. [ATTACH type="full" alt="E4759530-B429-4245-9429-B81D7019D160.jpeg"]356383[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
