[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 1357740, member: 1133"] I carry a small skinning kit with me in the field. Some of the ranches I hunt are big and don't have fence posts conveniently located for skinning, so I have to carry the dogs aways. I use an old camera strap with ribbon strap attached at the ends for this purpose. I have a set of rubber gloves, small folding skinning knife like the Schrade Old Timer (though I wish they had a locking system built into it), plastic bags, and small S-hook to support the back leg tendon against the barbs on the fence. The main support is the T-post top that's just small enough to allow the back leg tendon to slide over it. Works perfect for skinning. I never take a carcass back home anymore--it's a pain to get rid of them. It's important to kill the fleas (especially if you're married) and the best way IMO is to freeze the fur for a day or so. Then process it. Keep your hunting clothes in the garage if you kill a dog and have to carry it +/or skin it. Fleas will get on you (and hide on your clothes so they can jump on your wife when they can). Howling is the ace-in-the-hole that'll save you frequently especially if it's too warm for coyotes to want to respond to your calling. They will almost always sit up and look your way even if sleeping. They'll often just raise their heads or get up and look then lay back down momentarily allowing you to spot them and stalk them for the shot. Killed many this way over the years. Coyotes are actually surprisingly easy to stalk within several hundred yds., and I have often gathered my gear after spotting them and gone straight to them in the open if I'm moving methodically, with no bouncing or anything that sticks out from the edge of my silhouette. I always use a camo mask now as I do this since I'm pretty sure I've spooked more than a few coyotes over the years from the shine of my face. Always try and stop a coyote (with a loud bark or even growl) especially if he's broadside for a shot. This will often give you more time for the shot as it almost invariably immobilizes a typically extremely mobile animal. [/QUOTE]
