Not everyone has a fancy skinning machine!

After I finish this house I may need to get one. Gonna get a gantry crane and attach a hoist. Will need to figure out the skinning machine operation then.

Hanging is better but fresh dead I have had them on a 45 or so degree floor for 3 days no issue if they have been conibeared get after them. After all you dont want those dollar coon to be worthless.

They should have. But 2 min coons is not hard without a machine. I've seen many skinned in under 1 min by hand.

Get the machine. You will wonder why you waited so long.
