Do you need to remove the fat from the toe pads on a coyote. I'm refferring to the one's under the nails. I skinned all the way to the toenail. I removed the fat from the heel pads but don't Know if I need to remove at the toes.

better to be safe than sorry. If you can get it out, do so. You would hate to have a beautiful mount and then it starts stinking. Hope it helps
do you get it out without cutting. Is it possible to turn each individual toe inside out without cutting the little pads out on the tips of the toes?
get a pair of cuticle scissors, fine pointed and sharp. You can go at the toe pads with these and make quick work of the cleaning. Once you get the hang of it and understand how the pad is arranged. no problem. Just keep nipping at it.
