I can't tell y'all how much I hate fleshing raccoons.

This dog dug up multiple sets, stole a whole coon carcass and pooped on one of my traps that he dug up. I persisted and he eventually made a mistake. He just couldn’t stay away. Pigs get fat…hogs get slaughtered!!

i’m going to attempt fleshing for the first time pretty soon. Hoping i don’t screw it up too bad.

I might try using a power washer on a low quality skin to see if it works. I’ve seen several people use that method. Otherwise ill do it the old fashioned way.

I've never tried using a pressure washer I'll have to try it.

Report back on the pressure washer trick please. I’ve seen a ton of videos but in those they seem to be using the highest pressure which makes me think (like you said) would have to be really really careful.
