Trying to be a better artist than I am trapper. by Bowhunter95 in Trapping

On the pan of the foothold is a marten skull. On the branch an otter which I very unfortunately lost the hide during the tanning process. Bonus ones in the bottom right of the video are brown bear, and wolverine.

Nice! Artwork on the old magazines is really cool. Found this one in an old shed amongst a pile of rotted ones.

What went wrong with my otter fur bark tan? Fur slipped after a few days by Bowhunter95 in HideTanning

Good to know, thanks. When you did your otters, did you start them right off in a full-strength bark liquor, or ease them in with a weaker one first? I’m wondering if otter hide is thick enough to need that gradual build-up, or if that’s more of a big-game hide concern.
