It depends on how cold it is. This picture is only from a month or so of killing, the earlier Coyotes were skinned or put in a deep freeze, same with the later killed Coyotes.
I don't finish many furs anymore. My dad used to skin a lot, and I did quite a few as well. Then we started filming and by the time we get in, and I get footage dumped, and we get our night rigs geared for the transitional phase, I'm way ahead having my guy do a better quicker job than I can.
