Subject: Dead feller on side of road....I took his coat!
Went out on my bike this morning and saw a dead mink on the side of the road.  I was only about 10 miles out when I passed him and didn't want to carry a dead mink with me on my ride but I decided to get him on the way home.  I had a mini-leatherman tool in my seat pack with a small blade so I'd just take the hide. 
.  
On the way back I stopped and skinned him right there on the side of the road.  I hit my watched when I stopped and when I started back riding again and my mink-skinning split was 6 minutes flat.  I found an empty Kroger plastic bag and put the pelt in there, put it in my pocket and rode home.  When I got home, my son and I finished cleaning/scrapping/preparing the hide. 
OK then, you might be a redneck if you stop to take road kill hides on your bike ride!

That wasn't road kill, it was the on course nutrition for IMKY.

I can see that happening around Wilson...but not with anything as exotic as a mink. Possum, yes. Mink, no.

OK, that was just hilarious, but honestly (and maybe this belongs on the weird quirks thread), I am very superstitious about passing road kill. I won't do an out-and-back if I pass road-kill on the way out.

When I was little, in my very formative years, my dad used to keep borax and heavy duty garbage bags in the trunk of the car. When ever he would pass ANY type of fresh road kill, he would skin it, pour borax on it, put it in the bags until he could 'process' it at home in our suburban garage.

We had lots of stretched skins all over the place, chipmunks, deer, squirrel, raccoon, etc...

I know exactly where you're coming from...my dad does the same thing with raccoons. Never does anything with the pelts, so there are like 25 of them in his workshop at their house.

I haven't the foggiest idea...although I do like the swim cap suggestion!  My son asked if he could have it and I told him he could.

Not only are you a Redneck but you are a  Redneck Environmentalist the fact that you picked up and used the Kroger bag proves that  And wait there is more you are also a recycler.  You are a multifaceted complex man.
