Just wondering what you guys think of bringing the legs together and pinning them up to the belly area?

It's a neat clean look. I do everything that way.

The important fur on a coyote is the back fur. The legs should be pinned wider than that so that the fur bunches up at the tail base.. Tough to tell what board you are using. Looks like a split board with really narrow legs.I'll snap a picture of the belly side of one today and post. Looks like a real nice Coyote.

I would leave a bit more length on the rear legs too.Cut them at the hamstring.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

That might be what I am seeing. Looks off, as there is no gap between the legs. They may just be too short.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

That looks awesome! I will try to skin a bit further down the legs next time. I'll have to really think about it, hard habit to break!

Looks like BCTOM goes all the way to the paw. I cut right at the ankle. That's all it is, your just a tad short.

What is the measurement of the bottom of your adjustable boards? (Coyote)
How wide do you go at the bottom of split board?

I go 9" wide and sorta pleat the skirt to keep a dense, narrow, uniform look.

Short legs long legs It's no big deal. THey aren't looking at buying leg fur. It's all In the eye of the beholder.

I watched 1000s of coyotes being graded they don't look at how long the legs are I can guarantee you on that.
But the longer hind legs do look a bit nicer on the board.

Width at the bottom of your split board is of no concern. The critical measurement is 39" down the board which is 9" for a large animal and 7 1/2" for a small coyote per NAFA specs. I would also pleat the butt over like you do but I also squared it off as much as possible by tacking to a heavy cardboard or shake tacked to the split boards, which I also tack the tail to.
