Holy cow! Were those all from trapping?
Did you ‘harvest’ them ? I feel good if I get 1 yote a month
Yes it stinks . It won’t take me long to get them skinned 🙂
Joe I was gonna go out with them and decided not to . We have tons of coyotes . I can go out any evening and call one up .

I’ve heard that coyotes are a pain in the butt to skin out…is that true? Does it take a ton of practice to be able to do it quickly? Seems like you had your work cut out for you here!

Has anyone ever tried the “air method”… blowing air into a small incision? Ive wanted to try it but havnt yet
Try to be open minded and always strive to be better!

I have tried the air method. It looks and seems like you will be able to make an incision and then the skin will just peel off like a shirt, but it doesn’t happen that way. I’ve tried it with 2 foxes and 2 coyotes and it really didn’t make that much of a difference.
I’ve never tried the air . How well did it work on deer Ryan ?

I never tried it on a deer. I imagine it would be even less effective because you would have air leaking out from around the head and neck if it was a shoulder mount deer you were working on. With the foxes and yotes, the air didn’t release the skin from the membrane and muscles hardly at all. I guess the membrane is very stretchy and as soon as the critter deflates, the membrane shrinks back and you still have to use the scalpel quite a bit. In my experience it saved all of about 3 minutes!
