Part 1 of a 2 Part series on finishing your Bobcat Pelts to maximize the return from your efforts this trapping season. Make your bobcat skins "POP" off the fur stretcher following Ed's method of doing the Arizona Spread with his bobcats.

Part 2 of bobcat pelt handling covers not only turning the pelt but making the pelt shine! Ed shows you how to make "The Arizona Spread" with the turned pelt to make your fur more valuable and appealing to the fur buyer. This step is also important if you want to tan your bobcat. Sit back and join Ed in his fur room.
