    $50 for a hide? where is that? i could have made enough money for another rifle or two. i can skin one in about 20 minutes, less with practice.

    i shot my 39th of the season yesterday. at about 12,400 feet, called it in with a snowshoe hair distress. she was coming in and disappeared below a snowfield, when she did i got ready on a rock. but she never showed, next thing i know she is running away. i tracked her in the crosshairs and when she stopped she got a 60gr sierra at 3000fps right in the shoulder. 192 yds with a carbon 15 with 6x leupold.
    for those of you who are going to tell me "their hides are no good right now", i know, and i dont care. shooting coyotes is one of the most wonderful things a guy can do any day of the year. if i killed every coyote i ever saw it wouldnt make a dent in the population. i killed about 16 within a mile of my house since last september, just last thursday i saw 2 while out spraying thistles. that utv needs a rifle rack.

    I'm originally from Montana and we raised sheep when I was a kid. (Don't even try with the sheepherder jokes. You'll never come close to what my DI's came up with in basic).

    My brothers and I used to make our gas & beer money in HS from shooting coyotes. In the winter it wasn't uncommon to get $150 for a pelt, $50 for ears and tail.

    I would really love to get back into poppin' 'yotes.

    Where do you people sell the pelts and so forth? I would enjoy hunting these but anything to offset costs would be nice.
