L'animal doit être dépouillé aussitôt que possible. Pour préserver les peaux brutes, le trappeur procède à leur écharnage, c'est-à-dire qu'il en enlève, avec un couteau spécial, toute parcelle de chair ou de graisse qui y resterait attachée. C'est une opération délicate, car un coup d'écharnoir maladroit abîmerait irrémédiablement la fourrure.
