Got a caller finally.

[zeus1gdsm]

Well I finally got a coyote call and a decent light for clearing some coyotes out.

 

I've read and watched alot about picking and setting a stand, but I have a question I feel is best answered within state.

 

Once I get a coyote, what should I do with it?

 

My understanding is that the pelts dont go for hardly anything.

 

And do u skin it out just like I would a deer?

 

If pelting it isnt worthwhile, I know I can start a pile.

Case skin it.  Lots of YouTube on it. Buy a wire stretcher or if handy make a wooden one. Send dried pelt to moyles minkery to get tanned. Great Wall decor and conversation piece    Good luck and have fun

Here is a decent instructional video that shows how to skin one if you are going to sell it at auction or get it tanned.

If you plan on selling to a taxidermist they have to be skinned to include the feet which is a little bit trickier.

Yeah I'm in a predator hunt this weekend. I've got a couple fox but never a coyote. What I did with the foxes was I took it to a taxidermy and they skinned them and tanned them. I wasn't the best at skinning raccoons and I didn't want to mess them up. Probably paid to much for something I could have done but it was less of a hassle for me. So once I get a coyote I'll just take it to the taxidermy

Step one, get one ! Step 2, make room in the freezer till you figure out what you want to do with it. I personally have only skinned 1 Fox and one yote and sent them to be tanned. All the others have been donated to trappers or other outfits. I used to take them to a local shop whole and they would give me a couple bucks. I just felt bad letting them lay. If they were mangey or late season and rubbed out they stayed where they died.

I currently have a yote and fox in the freezer that will be heading to the taxi for my "bucket list" mount.

Good luck !
