Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tony Alexander's Practical Hunter's Trapper's Guide: The Secrets of the Art Told by an Experienced Trapper in His Own Way to the Hunters Trappers of America
The skins of animals that have been trapped are always valued more highly than those of such as have been shot, for the lead not only makes holes in the skins but injures the fur so that the manufacturer can not use them in making muffs, robes, or trimmings of any kind; he can only work them up into hats and similar goods owing to the checks and bawks which the shot holes have made in the fur To realize the utmost for skins they must be taken care of at once, cleaned and properly prepared.
