Never have had a coyote hide come in two... Had a few carcasses that have. You don't want a big hoist, mine is 440 and that's what is sold or recommended with the skinning machines commercially sold.We buried a hedgepost with an eye bolt attached to it in my buddy's dirt floor implement shop and used an electric hoist on the rafters. We'd loop a leg to the buried post and had modified vice grips attached to the hoist for the skin. It worked great until we got into some cold coyotes and/or deer and the hoist pulled them in half.
I think you're better off skinning warm or at least thawed and haven't really found the gadgetry to be too much more efficient than a decent knife and lots of practice.
Yeah the whole carcass separated. One of the butchers around here swears by a hoist and he is fast but that's all he uses anymore. I guess it's whatever your familiar and comfortable with. I have to quarter and pack out deer frequently where I hunt so it benefits me to stay familiar going that route.Never have had a coyote hide come in two... Had a few carcasses that have.
Yep, hang them up by the neck and pull the hide off using a rock, a truck or 4 wheeler. I don’t care how warm or cold it is, your truck can overcome it.This video is long winded, but gives the concept. I’ve been doing it this way with winches, toe hook on truck, etc for 45 years. You can even use a small rock and rope in the field, just be sure to have a small tarp to drop the carcass on and keep it clean if you do it at ground level instead of hanging. Much easier than compressed air, which I have also tried. Over 300 deer done this way and counting…
I've seen high-volume coyote trappers peel coyotes with the aid of a winch, I bet that would work on deer.
