Ahhh, okay. If I shot a coyote I'll likely have to skin it and the just stretch the pelt before it freezes as the weather is way to cold to tan it the only way I know. So I was wondering if a frozen pelt will be able to be tanned or if it will mold before I can get it tanned with heat and salt?

You can freeze it. That’s what the taxidermist does with them.
 
So got up 6am and bundled up to head out. It was still dark and I had 20 min till first light. I got the bach door opened just enough to shoot thru and started calling.By 7:30 it was very bright and the wind was picking up and I was near frozen despite good layers and gear. So I snapped some pics and closed everything up to find it was 15 degrees without wind chill. Didn't see a thing, apparently the coyotes are smarter than me and stayed in bed. LOL

The view out the back of the barn.

The back fields have a stark winter beauty to them.

Yes, it's been Friday since 12:01 this morning. For those of us retired it's almost always the weekend or some other day of the week.
 
I think I am coming down with something. :( I am going to finish my tea and go to bed. Goodnight everyone.
Between you and Double R your hogging all the blah. LOL I hope you both feel better soon. There are so many other things to chat about other than feeling yucky. ;D
 
@buildit them darn yotes can be smart. Years ago when we raced sled dogs they used to come by at night and harass the dogs. I waited for them all night, many a night, very quietly and carefully. On the nights I waited they never came near. Tried full nights, random nights, part nights and they would never show. Finally got a friend with a call and in short order he cleaned them all out
 
I presume that to mean you are a person of large height and weight but then it could be humour based on the opposite
Odd my comment under my avatar magically changed. I have since altered it again to remain humorous to me. Hope the current one offends nobody "Ay". :rolleyes:
