When I skin down to the last joint in all the feet I have to cut the skin to releive it enough to get down to the toes. This causes more sewing. Does everyone else have to do the same? What is a good price to charge for a coyote? As of now I charge 450.00 with a 100.00 deposit. Thanks.

No need for relief cuts to get to the last joint. Simply take your time with a sharp knife.
$750.00 plus the base for full mount.
Good luck....JL
Coyotes are smelly, usually over 40 pounds and are twenty hours of labor from start to finish. The forms now cost $75 to $100.
A red fox of 20 pounds commonly costs $400. Therefore a coyote should cost $800. No way. The common price for coyotes is $500. This is way too low. The price on a coyote should be $700 or more. Can I get this much? Only on one in ten calls.
On the feet you should be able to invert the skin by only cutting to the center of the pad. Use heavy needle nose pliers and a #11 scalpal for the toes.
Every nine of ten that I DONT get for 800 plus is another coyote I dont need to worry about. See, high pricing DOES work! Todd, even though I hate sewing, I do make a relief cut down the back of the last leg joint. Its often just a matter of preference.
i do them right away and the job is much faster - the extra sewing doesn't take nany time to speak of
