Title: How To Skin Coyotes for Sale
Post by: pickardjw on December 09, 2022, 08:06:32 PM: Planning on doing some coyote hunting this winter and figure I might as well skin em to sell if the hide is quality and it’s not a huge burden. Could use the practice and have plenty of space in my freezer. What all do I need to keep on the hide regarding paws, head, tail, etc? Who buys em and how should I prep them to freeze?

Choose your bullets carefully big holes are hard to fix and get top dollar pelts out of.

Any buyers to recommend? I feel like I've read about a guy that travels through WA at some point that buys but can't find the post. Quick google search brings up Promise Land Tannery in Okanogan and Cascade Bio Supply in Pateros. Also thought I heard about a guy in Ephrata. Could use an excuse to head towards any of those three towns!

I'll be using .223 Sierra TMK's. Not particularly interested in this being a money making venture of any sorts, just hoping to create some value out of shooting them.

Members of the WSTA are putting on a trapping workshop today, (Saturday). Somewhere there on the coast. They will be doing handson skinning demos.
There is a post about it on the trapping forum. Don’t worry about pre registering, just call the number and go.

The last couple of years they have been averaging right around $100+ for properly put up fur. Certainly worth the time to learn. Not hard at all.
