More on paws please

I'm getting(buying) some nice coyotes that were cased. The front legs were cut along the back from the elbow to the last joint(wrist) before the paws, and all 4 FEET were left unskinned. I need to skin the feet OUT before I put these skins on a wire stretcher. Can I skin the feet out to the middle digits and leave the individual toe bones in without worrying about slipping? Also, is a coyote skinned this way suitable for a full body mount?

Sounds like they are fine to mount.

But the minute you stretch them they ARE FUR! and not mountable as they are contorted.
