fleshing yotes

Use a scalpel. When you turn the ears and lips etc. just continue with cleaning up the face

That's the fun part about skinning animals  Do you have yourself a fleshing board ? That's always a must ....just remember to keep your knife sharp and lay the blade almost flat against the hide so you can control how much your taking off ...practice and patience...which I am still lacking

I flesh coyotes from the ears down, don't see the need to flesh the face. Doesn't affect the end product. I also use the dull side of my flesher and just push the fat off.

I've been fleshing yotes for years and I'm with Bob, you don't need to flesh the face just from the ears down.  Use the dull side not the sharp side  , coyotes are easy to cut.  Make sure you split the tail and open it up.

I didn't do a good enough job fleshing he face and it caused the hair to slip on my yotie I was doing

No, those animals have more fat on their heads so they need to be fleshed.  Here again use the dull side and push the fat off.

Ok thank you sir.

Use a spoon. That's what they taught us in trappers class.
