Great idea seldom...what's a Soda spoon? Looks like a teaspoon ?? . Thanks! A soda spoon is a teaspoon with a long handle. As I was searching for something that would work, that did. I'm sure if interested folks thought about the process, they'd probably come up with a better tool than the spoon.

Is this the new way pictures are going to be on this site?
I don't like it, I want to see them NOW.
But then again, I hate those threads that are 2' wide because of pics. I have no idea what you're talking about. There were links to photos, then someone posted the photos. I haven't seen a 2' wide thread because of a pic. Could you point one out for me?

Seldom, thank you for sharing this. It certainly makes a lot of sense to break the membrane up into narrow strips and deal with them one by one. Having a clean cut between the strips appears to eliminate the tough transition areas that are otherwise hard to deal with, at least for me. I will be looking for a suitable spoon or other implement to try your method. Thank you again. Several years ago I came up,with a way to take the jarring to my arthritic shoulders and wrists that occur during the fleshing of the red membrane off the coyote. I take a soda spoon and starting at the neck, insert the handle under the membrane but above the leather and slit the channel it made open. I do this the full length of the pelt in maybe 4-6 strips. You can either remove each section of membrane with the dull edge of your fleshing knife or use a pair of fish skinning pliers to pull the membrane off the leather. Once you break the "hoop" formed by the membrane, coyotes flesh very easy and takes me less time than writing this. Spoon handle Slit   Channel after slitting  Multiple channels slit   Removing membrane with pliers

Coondagger how old are you? Do you any copies of Fur-Fish-Game, Trapper Predator Caller, or International
Trapper Is there many coyotes in area your trapping. The coyote you did get how did you catch it. You look like you did great on coons.
Bury me with my guitar, a bottle of Jack Daniel, some MB 550s, and lots of money just in case you can take it with you!
