Just wondering how long it takes y'all to flesh a coon? My average time is around 35-40 minutes. This was my first year fleshing so will my times get better or is that around the average?
And the colder the better. Partially frozen skins flesh easier and you get a nicer job because the fat solidifies a bit...you don't have all that liquid grease running all over the place.dietsch said:with coon , leave them lay a day after skinning. helps alot .
i can do them on the blue english in about 7-8 min. only thing i dont like about it is the beam should be narrower at the top. its hard to get fox and smaller coon down over it. love it for beaver. i can do a med size beaver in 15 min.Kip Feroce said:Blue English fleshing system, guaranteed 5 min coon with practice. I hate fleshing myself so it gets farmed out. Both of my fleshers' have the system and swear by it.
Well said.. It's not a race, do the best job possible.leakway said:take your time. you will get faster the more you do. once you get a feel for it they will go fast.

I have the same problem as you bobcat. I really like the blue english system, but it's too wide sometimes. I'm planning to set up a narrower board the same way for next year to do fox.bobcat said:i can do them on the blue english in about 7-8 min. only thing i dont like about it is the beam should be narrower at the top. its hard to get fox and smaller coon down over it. love it for beaver. i can do a med size beaver in 15 min.Kip Feroce said:Blue English fleshing system, guaranteed 5 min coon with practice.
