Just wondering how many of you guys hunt and keep fur, and how many just leave the animal. No wrong answer... and poll is anonymous. Don't feel bad about voting!

I keep my coyotes but I don't skin them myself. I hang them and freez em then sell them whole. someday i might get into skining and stretching but I havent done it very much and I don't really have a good set up to do it in either. I don't have a heated shed yet and the girlfriend would prob kill me if I started bringing my hides in the house.

Got rid of all my boards years ago but am going to check with the Chief of the local band and see if any of them still put up furs plus I was allowed to trap on their land back when I first started, they have a craft shop and have always seen yote's out on their leased lands while heading to the border, if I can get permission to hunt on their land its an incredible hunting opportunity.

Thought about making some jerky out of them. I make some really good deer jerky dont think the guys at work would be able to tell the difference:D Its not a game animal so i could even sell the jerky right. I dont think i could do it coyotes smell too bad. I dont have anyone to sell to if i did i would keep the furs, i take tails every now and then and i have a nice skull mount from one, thats about it.
BIG FOOT DOES NOT EXIST, stop embarressing your selfs on tv and educating coyotes with those redicoulous big foot calls.
