Skinned it just inside the bush using a strong tree branch to lift her, tied her up by her back legs.... Having a dull knife on me made the job take forever though.... :(Quote:

He made it look pretty easy. I like your idea of doing them inside the bush, well out of sight of "prying snowflake eyes"Quote:

can you share more info on the Rifle and scope used ?
Great work. I skin them on site too if I can. I find if they are warm, it goes quicker. Also use a dog “choke chain” tied to a rope to cinch around a back foot when I hang them to skin.
What happens to the fur then and do you leave the flesh in the bush? Sorry to sound stupid but obviously I know little about killing coyotes.Quote:

I am using a .223 axis with a bushnell 4x12 prime scope.... It shoots a 55gr vmax bullet...Quote:
