Title: Coyote pelt
Post by: jordanramos_79 on August 23, 2011, 12:35:25 PM: Does anyone have any recommendations for processing coyote furs. I'm not looking for anything extravagant just to hang on the wall.

I suggest getting couple in on the order, to get the cost per pelt down (what with shipping and all).

I see you are in selah if you skin, flesh and traper dry it i will send it off when the fur buyer comes for you, we send of lots of furs so the price is pretty cheap. the done fall is it does take some time to get back.

bud i hate to tell you that hide isnt nice to hang any place, good shot but you have to wait tell they come into prime. you shoot a prime dog or predator and i will teach you what to do with it. SORRY FOR THE INFO...

You put them on a stretcher to dry

Post by: jackmaster on September 01, 2011, 12:16:04 PM: if you case skinned it you can stretch it over a rounded 2x6 or 2x8 but round the end off and the corners just a smidge, really makes fleshing alot easier and it gets the skin good and tight
