Wait till the neighbor walks his dog down the sidewalk while you have a half skinned coyote hanging in the garage. They'll keep their dog in their yard from there on out. I usually keep the door down,but some days you just want to see sunlight.I'm a cabinet builder (laid-off) and use a drawknife about 75% of the time. If your ever around Joliet Illinois, bring a coon, and I'll show you how to skin,flesh, and stretch one in about 20 minutes or less.

Nothing IMO fleshes most things, faster, easier and costs less than a simple paring knife, curved "Sheep" Skinning knife and a sharpener of some sort.

I think Greasy coons are one of the only species that should be skinned cold.... The congealed fat is WAY easier to flesh off with a sharp knife and they are easier to hang on to when skinning.

That is a fantastic story and thank you for posting it!

I purchased the DVD, 'Practical Fur handling' by Tom Osborne and think that it is excellent.



Be less concerned with where you are going than with the wake you leave behind.

That was a very good story. You are up there with Patrick McManus.


It gets easier with time. This morning I watched my boy Zach skin and scrape his 150th coyote. Not 150 caught, 150 put up.
I think he is starting to come into it.

Wayne Fasig, there are a few LEOs and former LEOs on this forum that will not appreciate your reference. I am one of them! Your credibility just took a nose dive!

Patrick McManus was exactly what I was thinking, too! First thread I read when I got home, and I needed the chuckle. Welcome to the fraternity, Lanternguy, and keep them coming!

Check with your States Trapper's Assoc to find a fur handling seminar or try the local fur buyers, if any.

Sorry Bob, I should not have judged all of them. Its like someone saying all outdoorsmen are bad people. I am the type of person to admit when im guilty.

Okay. He apologized. We've all said stupid things on here we regretted, or anyway I sure has heck have. Although that one was up there in the top ten.

Let's let it go and not ruin a hilarious thread by getting sidetracked chastizing the guy.
