Tex your leaveing the legs that long? If you cut them off short before fleshing you can just run right across the leg hole and It will flesh clean with no effort at all. Coon with nice round fur rosettes for leg holes In my opinion look alot better then having those legs left on, but that's just the way I do It.
I don't normally see many holes In coon hides maybe a 22 hole or If the coon are dog run and bit up but normally those holes are so minor that they don't need to be closed. Now any other large holes In coon are normally due to operator error LOl
