badger put up?

[michaelweese]

whats the secret way to scrape badgers?

I'm using a necker and I'm having a hard time scraping them! do you guys that put them up use the sharp or dull side of a knife?

Sharp side from top to bottom, no fun!

[lotsofmink]

I use a regular knife the whole way

All I know is guys who complain about fleshing otter, beaver, coon necks have never done a badger...LOL.

I don't remember if I used the dull or sharp knife but do remember it sucked big time.

[michaelweese]

sharp side worked great! put them in the freezer after skinning then fleshed like a beaver! still sucked!

[BadDog]

Sharp side is very good for making holes. So if you like making holes, then use the sharp side!

Use the dull side, grunt a little, but it's really not all that hard, and that's coming from a guy with poor hands and wrists.

Note the above poster.

Like most critters it takes a sharp side in places (mostly to get it started) but mostly the dull just grunt and you will get r done. I do quite a few every yr.

I use a sheffeild type knife on badger, the heavier type knife just seems to work better for me on badger and beaver. My knife is sharper on the ends of the blade than in the middle. I work the knife in a slicing motion sideways while pushing, almost like filleting off the flesh.
