Dead yote on the road a couple miles from the house, headed down there it looks like a winner it was shot will see if it's blown up or not still a $50-$60 yote it looks like, Christmas came early.

Big hole in the side (back is OK) but I might be able to fix it's a darn nice yote the best belly I have seen this year it would be a shame to waste it! Skinned, washed and drying a bit will look it over after making remakes the rest of the day.

Stopped by the farm supply/feed store and talked to the manager he calls a lot and some guy there said he had a yote he shot in his truck and did I want it. It was in there for 2 days but looked good will get a pic up if they make the stretchers if not it's still free glands.

Hope too much is not missing, sometimes I have a hard time getting a stretcher on sewn ones if too much is missing I've never found one I couldn't fix, if willing to spend the time. The hard part is sorting out all the little fingers that fit together on the really blown up ones. Stick your fingers together, and you get a rough idea of what you have to deal with. I look closely at the edges to make sure there is no bullit burn, and if there is, trim it out. Then put on a wooden board, fur in, and pin it into shape, so you don't sew the flaps together wrong. When it fits together right, start at the base of the tears that fit together. It is laborious, but I've made hundred dollar coyotes out of rag bags before! The absolute worst coyotes to put back together are the ones caught by greyhounds. Sometimes they will have strips of skin several inches wide riped out and gone. Now those are hard to fix!

They can be fixed with patience. Just depends if you wanna take the time.
Jerry loves sewing our roadkills if needed.
It gives him a sense of accomplishment when he gets it sewn back together.
IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !
