Are they just belly split like a beaver then? And pulled into the square shape?

You could take a coon hide that was skinned,stretched and tanned cased and block it out square if you wanted.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Would you leave the head on or trim that?

Looking at the old pics, there ain't much head showing, just the nose. The tail of the coon skin north of it would cover that up pretty good I'd think.

Like Gary said, we were putting coon up like that in 1963.
