I have a question for you JODakota, kind off topic but what bullet do you use? I'm getting ready to start reloading for my .22-250 but I'm going back and forth weather to go with a fmj or a varmit  grenade. All I know is I've used Hornady ballistic tip bullets( I forget which ones) and they tore coyotes up.

How do you then dry the fur and for how long before it goes on the stretcher?

The right side of this machine spin dries them. Takes 3 minutes and they are ready to get stretched right after.

I shoot either 40 grain vmax or 55 grain vmax. I get to many runners with fmj's

I have an old ringer washing machine I used to use. All coyotes and most coons got washed. Does make a difference. I would hang them to dry overnight.
I washed prior to fleshing though. Skin side looks much better if fleshed after washing.
Some things you think look pretty clean will amaze you how dirty the water gets.

Greasy furs like mink, otter civets, coon go through the fur drum. they look wonderful when they come out.

Thanks for the info guys I hand washed my muskrats from today had a lot of sand in the bottom of the bucket when I was done. Hanging in the shed to dry tonight and flesh tomorrow see how they turn out next to the rats I didn't wash

Can you post a picture of the back of one of those dogs please,Hope you do well at nafta I shipped 6 the year before last and found I could get more at the prineville auction.Is your fur buyer buying coyotes this year? I'd be happy with a 75.00 average!

Ha I wish man, he's buying fur but he's three states away and the quality of dog from here and there is night and day. That 75 bucks he was paying was just carcass, not even put up fur.

screenshot that whole thing so I can remember it. The buyer I'm going to offered 15-25 for a carcass and I've got 3 dogs so far with a lot more to come this week(hopefully) and I'm tempted to jump into the whole 9 yards of putting it up and selling it at auction or something.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen
