Rada should give you a commission. Long ago in an earlier video you mentioned them. I bought several of their knives and recently purchased my sister a Kitchen set. She is thrilled. Her old knives sucked! Best of all they’re made in the USA! Another good instructional video. Thanks Dale.
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 when I worked at shedas I watched ludy skin mink, take the same knife cut off a piece of ham, eat it, continue skinning. Didn't miss a beat. A chair, a stove, a ham, a pile of mink. To funny
When I trapped mink for MSU I use to nick a gland in order to stink-out the college kids from the fur shed with their crappy music so I could have peace listening to my bluegrass while skinning!! Nicking a mink gland would have the students heading for the door immediately! Old trappers know how to manage the fur shed!!!
I learned about those glands the hard way when I skinned my one and only weasel back in the 1960s. Never made that mistake on a mink (because of my experience with that weasel).
First mink i skint back in the early 70's dad told me to leave the toe nails on that they would bring more, the fur buyer laughed and said i didn't have to do that cause they didn't buy them like that no more
John they are fantastic Skinning knives. And if you get a set for the kitchen for yourself or your significant other, nobody will be disappointed. Thank you for watching
First mink I ever skinned for veirs fur co was bought whole n I tried it half frozen. Literally shot the musk on my lip when I tried to spread those frozen legs. When dale says it's got some power he ain't jokin. I got paid 50cents for skinning that mink then at 15yrs old
@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 once you taste it you'll never untaste it. Might be why I didn't try for mink for 17years lol. Caught 4th last day season I could smell n taste it at the car 110 doesn't put them down fast enough it seems
I remember the first one ........ dad stood there watchin and waitin ...... then it happened and it just tickled him to death ! 🤣I had rather smell like a skunk !!!

Great video buddy didn't take us long at all to finish
Thank you buddy. No we walked right through them
It is interesting about how fatty they are compared to the northern and New England mink are . Thanks .
These are fat crawfish fed mink Paul. Where these guys live the grocery store is always open.
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 that explains alot . They do not have to work for their food . Thanks for explaining why they are so fat and big .
@paulmartin6895 you're welcome.
I would rather smell a skunk than mink tarsal gland🤢. Nice job explaining it. That sure was a fat one.
Mee too Scott. Thank you for watching
Looks like I’m picking up some Rada gear lol
John they are fantastic Skinning knives. And if you get a set for the kitchen for yourself or your significant other, nobody will be disappointed. Thank you for watching

😂 I've never had it in my mouth Dan. But I got shot in the eye one time pulling a tail. It burns

@AlphapredatorMO yip. I understand that. No a 110 don't do it quickly enough. 120 is a better choice
I remember the first one ........ dad stood there watchin and waitin ...... then it happened and it just tickled him to death ! 🤣I had rather smell like a skunk !!!
ME TOO Otter Cat!!!
Wow, mink that size would put some house cats to shame. Looks like they'd fill up a stretcher board in a hurry.
They're big for sure Craig. Thank you for watching buddy
I nearly turned into a crybaby pansy
😂 please don't do that Nancy. Thank you for watching
