My boy just sold 9 Coyote pelts from Last year , to free up freezer space for this years crop. $495 averaged $55 apiece. just skinned and frozen not finished . He is going to buy a 110 volt "flux core" wire welder with part of the cash.  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Commercial buyer. He goes around city by city buying premium pelts then finishes them and takes them to Canada for the fur auctions. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

J&M furs in Roundup, MT used to take them whole. You don't get as much as even a green fur, but it didn't used to be much of a discount. They make up part of the skinning cost, by processing and selling trapping lures. I'm not sure, if you need trapping license to sell coyote, but you do for furbearers. ------------- Want to stop Drunk Drivers, from Killing Sober Drivers? Ban Sober Drivers from Driving.

Simple First off you find a coyote heading out of WY on its way to MT. Wait for a good gust of wind.......then with a really big gun....POW! Now with a quick call to a fella in the Dakotas to catch the hide as it floats through, you will have just skinned your first coyote. I could have just stopped with, "First you find a coyote", but what fun would that have been. ------------- ...oh yeah! thats gonna hurt! |

Having trapped for years, skinning s**ks big time. And that is what it takes, big time. Best way to do it is IMMEDIATELY. the longer game sits after kill the tighter its clothes gets. I like D way with a ganbrel and a boat winch right on the back of his son's truck. Only hide comes home. For deer, I use the golf ball method...slick.

D definately has a good way of doing it. I have noticed when skinning deer that it's a lot easier when they are still warm. D, Do you case out coyote hides?

Yes we do. We "commercial skin" not "taxidermy skin". We don't save the feet but keep the eye lids , lips, and nose. Never want to brake off the tail or cut the belly skin, or there worthless. Also never drag them it will brake off the long hair and that's the $$$, don't drag a deer if you want to sell the cape either.  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Wing, I was leaning towards a 5" deck gun. I mean sure you lose a little hide on the haunches and sometimes the entire front end, but just think of how much time and effort it saves! Not to mention mess and cold fingers. Time it to a good gust and you should be able to find the hide drying nicely on a Dakota fence! ------------- ...oh yeah! thats gonna hurt! |

I have been watching youtube videos on how to do it. It really doesnt look that hard to do. I have been thinking about building a skinning pole like D has for deer. I might do that and try skinning the next one I shoot. What kind of knife works best for skinning coyotes?

Yes we "Case " skin them. I don't skin deer with my skinning pole it goes in to the reserve on the truck and it's just for coyote, fox, and raccoons . ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

This is some of what we are getting with the cash. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0185BEKK6/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2S33VBAJNGJ&colid=1QU6XXWE52Z0V&psc=1" rel="nofollow - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0185BEKK6/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2S33VBAJNGJ&colid=1QU6XXWE52Z0V&psc=1 Not a big unit but very portable and we can run it off our generator we already have . In the event we have a structural problem in the on sight water testing period... The other portion will be to insolate and finish the Boys shed so we can "finish " the hides and get another $25 each. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

I've used skinning pole for deer and such for 25yrs or so. First a homemade one and few years ago "upgraded" to store bought one. It really saves your back, when you're old and fat. Some what similar to this one. It really came in handy when there was no trees around and while kids were at home, couple dozen a year to skin, saved my back. Loading is somewhat easier with couple planks and sliding deer into truck, but hoist does hold one end, so you only have to lift half. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/400405/hme-hitch-mounted-game-hoist-steel-black" rel="nofollow - https://www.midwayusa.com/product/400405/hme-hitch-mounted-game-hoist-steel-black ------------- Want to stop Drunk Drivers, from Killing Sober Drivers?

Being German, I tend to be thrifty, so say cheap. If you have a rear 2" receiver this works great. The bed extended is pieces of two inch box beam. Can extend rearward OR used to extend upward. the knee piece fits into the receiver and sticks up about 4+ foot. I put a pulley on the top where the beam is pre-drilled (Lowes) added a cheap small boat winch, with a hook that fits the Gambrel. https://www.amazon.com/Erickson-07605-Pick-Up-Extender-Junior/dp/B01CADYILQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1516482298&sr=1-2&keywords=erickson+bed+extender" rel="nofollow - https://www.amazon.com/Erickson-07605-Pick-Up-Extender-Junior/dp/B01CADYILQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1516482298&sr=1-2&keywords=erickson+bed+extender . https://www.amazon.com/Reese-Towpower-74337-Pound-Capacity/dp/B000WZ4KBS/ref=sr_1_7?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1516482625&sr=1-7&keywords=boat+trailer+winch" rel="nofollow - https://www.amazon.com/Reese-Towpower-74337-Pound-Capacity/dp/B000WZ4KBS/ref=sr_1_7?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1516482625&sr=1-7&keywords=boat+trailer+winch Total cost under $95...time about 1 hour. It removes in seconds so you can just carry it in your truck bed until needed. Good to about 600 pounds. Skin 'em where you shoot 'em!

I spent about $20 on my first home built one, the store bought was about $75, the one I linked is more current version, with dogleg and swivel lock, to keep deer from spinning. The pivot, to load in truck bed is handy, but couple planks also work. I've found over last ten years or so, I can't just grab big MD and throw it in truck, anymore. ------------- Want to stop Drunk Drivers, from Killing Sober Drivers? Ban Sober Drivers from Driving.

| On mine I used a small block(4system) & Tackle, Harbor freight $7, in lieu of crank winch. And mounting it in the receiver lets me use it to swing deer into bed or on to carrier when I'm by myself. In my good olde days i could lift a 200# deer into truck bed; today i can't slide/lift a 120# doe up 14" onto my deer carrier. Buy my 'gin pole' helps. |

As a teen working on old cars, we had them on pick-ups to get engines into bed. Commerical fishing boats also call them gin poles to pull large fish or crab/lobster traps on-board. Don't know where the term came from? maybe oil fields?

Thanks JSG. That's a lot different than "Gin poles" in the oil field. In the oil field they are two poles attached to the back of a winch truck and the winch line runs through a block that is used to lift heavy parts when they are putting a drilling rig together.  ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |
