Why cut off the lower lip? (Coyote skinning) #8251266 11/01/24 11:42 PM 11/01/24 11:42 PM

I'm just curious, does it really save that much time to cut off the lower lip? It seems like if you've already skinned the rest of the animal, it wouldn't take that much more effort to finish skinning the lower lip. Is there more to it that I don't understand?

The only reason to save it would be for taxidermy or personal preferance. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Is there more to it that I don't understand? 1) Not meant for a time saver. Fur market wants lower lip removed. 2) Taxidermy market needs lower lip on. Below, lower lip removed during skun'n. The lower area trimmed for nice presentation to sell. (L. to R.) Grey, Red, Coyote
