A couple of years ago Ryan D in SK went to NAFA and posted a detailed account, complete with pictures, of the yote pelts that he observed after drumming. I was amazed by what he reported. Maybe he’ll chime in and share his thoughts.

Putting up your Yotes is the one thing that you can control and IMO sending in the best that you possibly can only makes sense. Just last week I found a big burr in a pelt after fleshing and washing it. I separated the hairs with my fingers and took the burr out. Wil it make a difference? I dunno, but for sure now that it’s gone it certainly won’t effect anything.

For sure washing your pelts cleans and whitens them and borax will whiten red belly. I don’t think that drumming will help with that. Will it effect the grade? My hopes are that it might influence the grader and hopefully it makes me a few extra bucks.
