i shot a yote 5 days ago , it hasnt been above freezing since and its been in the back of my truck
do you think the hide is still good ?
i think the hair might be froze to the bed liner but wont a little warm water fix that ?
 
If it was frozen should be good.

I had a yote that left frozen for a week in my shed. One think I can tell you is that the skinning job is gonna be horrendous! Get a few sharp skinning knives in various sizes, as almot every area of the pelt will need to be removed by blade.

Another thing I can tell you is that it'll take a while to thaw out. They are so well insulated that I kept mine in the house for a full 24 hrs (the wife thought the burlap sak had some older, salted, dehydrated pelts), and the meat under the skin was frozen rock solid.

The hair didn't slip or anything...

Good luck
 
thanks
my dads a taxidermist and said he got one the other day was good but stunk like [beeep] !
and it was left in the back of a truck for a while too
