I have had my first successful coyote hunt (two, in fact), and now I need to know the best way to skin the animal in preparation for a mount. Specifically, what's the best way to do the feet, and around the face? Should the paws be tubed or split open? What about the pads? I have also heard I'm supposed to do something with the lips, but having trouble finding specific information. Thanks for any advice!

Are you mounting it yourself??? If not call your taxidermist. I like to skin them out myself and take carcass measurements. If you are, freeze it and find some videos.

also, wear a respirator!![:'(]
