I know she ain't the prettiest, but is she worth putting up at all? Would she sell for even a low dollar?

Not going to get rich for sure. As with all fur if you don’t enjoy it you would not do it for the money.

Not sure if the hair loss on her neck is from lice or rubbing. I had two with lice but they were much worse than this one.

I have some that look like that and the real bad ones I tossed. Might be $2.00 or $3.00 coyotes If your lucky. Last year I had 5 coyotes that brought a whopping $7.00 total. 3 only brought .50 cents each.

Well, I don't think I'm gonna mess with her. I hate to not put up an animal, but that's a lot of work for MAYBE $3.00+/-. Not to mention that she is frozen solid out in the fur shed. It would cost more to thaw her than I'd get out of her. And I hate to bring bad fur to a buyer.

Sorry Ditch but I don't skin those. Lice are bad this year. Out of the last 12 I've skinned 3. Got 2 today and one was rubbed in the same spot all the way to bare skin. The other was real nice. Seems to early for as many rubs but every year is different..

You will be lucky to get $1.50 for that at auction. After drumming and commission...you will owe the auction house. Skulls, glands, claws and tails have value if you find buyers.

In my humble opinion i wouldnt skin her. Its pretty disappointing when you get them like that. Looks like lice and a fair bit of guard hair missing frown

Please give the animal a proper resting place in the ditch. Nice catch though!

Well, if you've got a buyer, I'll sell her to you for $10.00 (you pay shipping of course). She's still frozen. No green belly cool

You may not believe it but I tossed this one. She was a beautiful fawn color till I turned her over and saw the small patch of mange on her hind leg. I toss em if they have anything like that cause we so rarely get more than a few dollars for ours. I was really bummed.

I would have definitely kept the front half and did a mount like this. That color is beautiful!
