Skinned em fleshed em. washed em with detergent.
Then I soaked em in egg and hot water wringing out
a few times before leaving overnight in solution.
Put the hide on a stretching board inside and out as it dried.
I constantly rumbled and stretched the hide for two days.
Not great but no flies

Nice work! I tried that with a coyote skin once...just once.

Did you take that fur yourself?

Thanks fellas,
I have a lifetime trapping licence
but the mink was a road kill.
