Got these two guys yesterday, both have thinned guard hairs and slightly "wooly" under fur on the neck and shoulders, one worse than the other. I know it's hard to tell from the pics, but are they worth putting up for the state auction or are they near worthless ? I brushed the fur down, shows worse brushed backwards. If they are too bad for the fur sale I was going to home tan for discounted wall hangers or crafts. Any input ? -Thanks

Get them garment tanned commercially so they are soft and the leather is nice. People will buy them and think it's an awesome coyote. Joe Q knows nothing about fur grades. JMHO

They look a little open, but they are already skinned so put them up up. Hard parts done.

The tanning is an option but IMO you have harvested and skinned the two, that is the lion's share of the work. Also let a buyer tell you what is good, bad and ugly about your two yotes. Education has value for the future too.
