Tannery

[702plmo]

My son trapped his first coyote.   We are not going to sell it we are looking for a place to send it to get tanned.   He wants to make a quiver out of it.    Where is a good place that will do a good job tanning it.     Also,  can I freeze the hide and shipp it in a foam cooler?  


Thanks,   Jim and Logan

Ask your local taxidermist, he might point you in the right direction!

702plmo, I sent 5 coyotes to Moyle Taxidemy in Idaho an had them garmet tanned an they came back in beautiful shape. I trapped these an skinned a dryed also, but I do believe you can send raw furs. Contact them nice people to deal with beautiful job of tanning. Later Bob

I agree, Moyle Mink Tannery does a great job and at a reasonable price.  They will finish raw furs but they charge almost twice as much I think.

Find a local trapper that can help your son flesh and dry the coyote and save a little cash.  Finnishing fur is something every trapper should learn or at least be exposed too.

Good looking Yote,  No rubs on the neck.  It will make a fine quiver.

Congrats young man

Nice Coyote! All of my African animals went to The Wildlife Gallery Inc in Michigan! They did an excellent job! I believe thats where my Buck I shot this year is headed as well! Check em out!

A 35# coyote around here is a big yote! I had one tanned a couple of years ago. After that I will be tanning my own from now on. Over a year wait for a coyote pelt?

Just curious but how much does it run for getting one done up?I got a quote from my local guy to do one and I told him not on his best day would I pay that.Especially when a deer costs $129 w/o the hair.

most local taxidermists send the hides out to be tanned. Moyle is a good chose as well as USA FOX, i have had good luck with both. also you might want to have the taxidermist skin it for you with the paws on, they do an excellent job. i sent one i shot to Aronald Furs and they made me a full length mountain man hat. hat was so warm that i couldn't wear it while walking a lot but was great for sitting on stand!

Vtmntman, I paid $22 / coyote plus shipping, I figure I had less than $30/coyote. I did skin , flesh , dry and stretch my own furs, I skinned out the feet also, It's a real pain but makes a nice hide when done this way. I sold these for $85 an did better this way than selling furs to auction house. Coyotes are kinda novelty here so people want one for the den, or man cave. I also had 4 skunks done up an they were $17 plus shipping an I had a hard time getting $30 for these. Pretty nasty to skin an flesh, you won't have to many people wanting to set with ya for breakfast. It's all just part of being a trapper. Good Luck Bob

Hey Ken, I saw one of those hats the other day an it felt really warm. I think they look really good. Nothing can beat natural furs for looks an warmth in my opinion. Later Bob

that hat was a favorite of mine but i made the mistake of wearing it to my friends house and his young daughter fell in love with it. had to give it to her! my buddy said she slept with it every night and still does. guess it went where it belongs.

[702plmo]

Im taking it to a friend of mine that has a furbarn.  were gonna skin, flesh and stretch it.    I have skinnned several yotes over the years.      

  Where would a guy get one of those hats made?

[adkmountainken]

i had it made by Aronald Furrs who i believe has a web site. they did it at a great price if you send them the tanned hide, if they tan it i believe it was very expensive. the hat was quilt lined and made VERY well, great stiching, heavy duty. no hair loss and fit great.

If your son will be using the face of the yote in his quiver design, make sure you remove the cartilage from the ears and salt or boarax them well.  If not the hair will slip during the drying process.
