I'm not being judgmental. Good video. Just wondering...

Why would you rough skin a beaver when clean skinning with a fleshing tool saves time and effort in a long run? When I used to teach the Alberta trapping course 20+ years ago we encouraged clean skinning beaver. When you were done skinning a beaver there was very little to be fleshed and the pelt was almost ready for the board. Time wise, clean skinning saves time and there is no "knicking" of the skin side.
