Coyote Pelt ?

[mercuryv8]

So... If I shoot a Coyote after I skin it, what should I do with the pelt? Do I need to dry it on a board? If I do is it fur side down and scrap off the fat and stuff? Does it need chemical treatment?

Basicaly I don't know anything about this...what do you guys do?

Thanks in advance

Most important part is to scape it, then board it.

It has been covered to death here but here is a link that shows tha basics pretty well:

I do it slightly differently but this will get you good basic results.

wow skinning a live coyote thats some feat there tell us how that turns out

your supposed to shoot it then skin it much easyer on the health care system aswell as making it easyer to pick up women later in life

I was thinking the same thing, might be easier to shoot it before skinning it.

Ha Ha Ha Nothing gets by you eh!

I just read the article that was linked above. It suggests pelt prices are about 15.00$ ... but the article was dated Winter 1976 so I am sure somethings have changed. What are pelts going for this year?

ya it would make sense to kill it before you skin it, but u usually put it on a coyote board stretch it longer and pin it so it will stay. put it in a cool place to dry then flip. that may not be the correct procedure for coyotes but it works for other furbears

Case skin the coyote then scrape any remaining fat off the hide. Put the pelt (skin side in) on a stretcher. When nearly dry, turn fur side out & place back on stretcher until dry. Check out last year's fur sale prices on North American Fur Auctions. A friend of mine got $35-$70 for his coyote pelts last year.

There's more than one way to skin a coyote......or is it a cat?

To skin a coyote, you need a good knife and a blade to flesh it out. to skin a cat, you need a Nosler Ballistic tip.

Is there anyone in the GTA (Ontario) that will buy the pelts if I shoot one? Is it even legal for me to sell it?
