Been a few years since I trapped and I helped my youngest boy put out a trapline last week. We have some badger sign in the area and are trying to get one.

In the past I have always put up badger like a beaver. My neighbor told me today he heard the fur auctions now want them case skinned and stretched fur side out like a fox. Which way is it?
 
The last two years I've seen the badgers done cased, fur out. That is in Oregon, but im sure thats standard for the most part.

I found this on the Fur Harvester's Auction website. Their company is in Canada so maybe they have a different standard, but it says cased and fur in for badgers.
