Trick to getting Fox off Drying Board

Byran nails in a small nail and cuts off it's head.  He then drills a small hole opposite for the nail to slide into.
The Fox or whatever is slipped over the end of the drying board and a piece of metal something is wedged in so it opens it 3/8th of an inch.  This is through the mouth opening.  (Bryan uses a snare swivel because it can be unscrewed out if it is too tight.)
After the fur has dried overnight Bryan takes out this swivel and the two boards move together releasing the stretched fur.

Fox Trapping, and handling Fur

 Fox's are caught in almost any set.  We have caught them in horizontal Marten sets,  and Wolverine sets.  They are a scavenger and are not a weary as a Wolf.  
This one was caught in a 1100 Savage in a Wolverine box set.
The pulley system raises the Fox up after it is caught to keep damage to the fur down.  If you look up Wolverine in Labels it might show the set.  If not definitely will be on the old blog.

 This fox is not like the Red Fox back east.  The Silver's and the Red's mate and crosses occur.  
After the pelt has dried inside out for the night you need to run a little snow on your hands and turn the pelt fur side out.

After brushing, give several taps to make the fur get loaf..

From Bryan's Camera Down on the Sutlahine

 These sets swing up in the air after the trap has caught the animal.  It says the fur from being eaten by shrews, mice and other predators.
