High guys,

We shot a nice coyote yesterday and made a mess out of it. It was a nice big dog and would have made a great hide. With the damage to the lower front shoulder, the top half of the coyote was perfect. I wanted to remove the top half of the coyote and work it like a beaver skin. Has anyone done this? Any other ideas, I just hate to leave a nicce hide in the field.

It has little or no fur value, but you could just skin it as normal and have it tanned. I have a bear skin that has some nasty holes in it but still looks good hanging from a nail.

If you want to know about hides and coyotes. go and look at the Coyote gods site.
Have a look through the intro and do a search before you dive in and get you head blown off though. they love the rem 17
