anyone using air pressure to skin coyote or wolf ? I saw it on a youtube video looks like it might work ok
I have seen water pressure used to skin snapping turtle years ago

You mean blowing them up like a balloon? Saw the video of a guy doing that with beaver so I tried it. Still have to flesh, not much quicker for me anyway….and it’s weird lol. I’ve heard bad thing about pressure washing skins too.
I wouldn’t risk trying that crap with a good wolf.

I think Coon Creek Outdoors on the tube tried it once with very little success, forgot what critter it was (not a wolf). I tried it on a deer with no real difference that I saw.

Don't flesh hides with a pressure washer unless you plan to tan them with hair off because it will all slip out

I know a guy who fleshes buffalo hides with a pressure washer for hair on skinning. He says it takes some practice to get the knack but then works very well. I don't think he uses it for anything else though and he does a lot of different skins for himself and other people, including wolf.

The air pressure thing is something I think got started with Swiss Family Robinson. It is something you hear about quite a bit from people who don't do much if any skinning, but I've never known of anyone who actually skins critters using it.

Old Calvin Calp from Hoisington Kansas use to flesh his coyotes and badger that way. He has since passed on, but I made several trips to his operation over the years and always enjoyed my time with him. He had a room set up like a large shower stall. I never witnessed the process but he said it worked well for his system. He had several fellas working for him at the time. Not sure if they did the power washing fleshing or he did it.
