Wrap it around a tree or flip it over a stout limb, split the hind legs and snap a snap on the tendon on each leg and rip it down. Tail strips easy with two sticks when it is hot, or if you want to get fancy the handles of a pair of channel locks works good. You could pack a gambrel if you wanted also.

Agree they are the little western coyotes,not the eastern ones.I have skinned plenty of wolves and a few eastern coyotes.The few eastern coyotes that survive the wolves here are about the size of a female yearling wolf.(50lb or so) I have never skinned a western coyote but seen thousands put up at the Nafa and Fha warehouses-westerns are much smaller.And Much nicer.

X2 I carry a couple cords or pieces of wire so i can hang animals by their back legs to skin out on the line at times. For the younger trappers it saves from hauling weight out TILL THAT DAY.....
