What would be the best way for me to start the mounting process of a lying down on it side coyote.
I have a dorsal cut life size hide, should I cut the form or slip the hide over the complete form.
Thanks for any help

If you had known the position that you were going to mount the yote in ahead of time you would have been better off making the incision on the side of the yote that will be lying flat. You can still mount it this way though. I usually wind up taking two legs and the head off and then mounting. I then reattach with bondo. Some poses are easier but some with the legs farther apart or lying at odd angles can be more of a challenge. Good luck.
