Has anyone ever tried drying their martens fur out without turning them? I just don't like turning pelts much, and the paper thin skin would likely dry in one stage.

I know a couple of guys who direct market instead of sending their first auction that dry without turning.
If you plan on sending them to auction you pretty much need to turn them.

Why do you dislike turning Martin or any other animal, sorry but its part of trapping, also wash with shampoo and blow dry all fur, brings more money and cut out the middle man.
