Default skinning coyote for wall

So i am planning on going coyote hunting with my brothers over the upcoming holidays on my farm in VT. I have never shot one but there is an abundance of them on my farm. I look at it as a good way to get out in the woods and use it as some scouting for deer too for next deer season. Anyways.....im building a camp on my farm and i need some more wall decorations. I want a couple of coyote furs on the wall..... So i have a couple questions.
1. I have a basic understanding of how to skin them..... but if i am going to just hang them on the wall do i slit the skin down the belly?
2. If i am going to be hanging them on the wall can i just salt and dry the fur or do i need to tan it and flesh it?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
