Removing paw meat

Submitted by The Rookie on 12/27/2002. ( ) 205.188.209.168

I'm tanning my first coyote and wondered if anyone could please explain a procedure for removing the meat from the paws and should they be filled with clay when I'm finished tanning. I didnt find anything in the archives . Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Just keep skinning, until you reach the claws.

Skin out the fatty parts of the pads too. Everything must come out. Sometimes a relief cut must be made in the side of the leg above the foot.
