it had a nice full coat on it. i screwed up skinning it. i was trying to strip the tail and the hide broke off. i've never skinned a yote before, so i read online how to do it. it was raining pretty hard so i was trying to do it quick. oh well. i still skinned the rest of it besides the head. i think it would look great on an end table or something. now i just gotta find out what tanning stuff to buy..
