Fox and Coyote Front Legs
« on: October 26, 2011, 04:18:37 PM »
Do ya leave the front legs on your fox and coyotes or do ya cut them off say about 1 inch or so from the body after ya skin them. I have heard both ways but not sure witch way is the right way.

Depends what you want to do with them.  If your selling them you can cut them off an inch or two from the body.  If you getting it tanned and keeping some do the same and some cut off at the foot.  Some guys like the feet on and of course if its going to ba a full body mount you gotta leave everything on.

Then you can cut them a couple inches from the body.
