Thread: Possum fur handling

Hi to you experienced possum fur pluckers.

Just want to know what you guys pluck into in the field and how you store and dry it before selling.

Plucking into a clean sack is OK but Im thinking a big mesh bag with a draw string will be easier and maybe tougher.
Im also guessing it will allow it to dry out when in storage if its not packed to tight ?

I have killed plenty of possums over the years but never bothered with the fur.
But decided to give it a bit of a nudge this winter and see how much I end up with..... might just top up the " man cash stash ".
Did 8 last night to start things off.
