The ball peen hammer does a whole lot better job by getting Into those tight places. I think If you get a ball peen hammer you will retire the rubber mallet. You can't no matter how hard you swing It damage the hide. Unless of coarse there Is already a tear some place. The forum Know It All according to Muskrat

Coyotes get whacked at the elbow and then trimmed during boarding. I need to catch a coon and try this hammer trick. Thanks ADC and The Beav - you guys rock!! ( I take back all those rumors I've been spreading around about ya' both!!) LOL!
