Default Trappers Educational Manual

Does anyone in the Edmonton area have a manual for sale or willing to lend 1 out? I'm not a trapper but I'm interested to know how to skin like a professional and care for hides.

Thanks for looking

ASAT

You can buy a manual at the Alberta Trappers Association in Westlock.

Not exactly sure if it will teach you how to "skin like a professional" but it will point you in the proper direction....after that it just takes time and practice/experience

If you have internet access, google and youtube is your best friend. I don't know about you but I'd rather learn by watching someone do it than read about it.
