Tough coon tails - 01/11/22 04:08 AM
I've done a couple coons this season where the tails really fought me. Had a hard time getting them started, then about half way down I could not get the hide to cut free of the tails. In both cases the tails broke when I pulled with my stripper, then the bottom couple inches of tail tore off when I tried to work out the piece of bone.
If this because I waited too long to skin them and they were stiff, or because they were both exceptionally fat coons? What are some tricks to deal with a tail that doesn't want to skin?
