I saw some comments on the long range shooters thread, and was thinking about how some say they skin and sell the hides. Others use a cannon cause they don't skin them.
That brings up a question about what price do hides need to be for you to start skinning the coyotes?
I personally don't want to skin a coyote if I am fairly sure that I won't get at least $15 and I really would like $20 or more.
That is just thinking about how long it takes to skin them, store, flesh, sew, wash, clean, and stretch and brush. Not to mention going to the buyer and hoping that you can average enough that it was worth it.
I find that it takes me 1 hour total from start to finish avg to put up a hide.
How about you?
