Well said Marty , excellent post . This is what we all need to know if we are to get as much coin as possible from our catch .One thing you mentioned is cleaning , is it advisable to wash all coyotes , not just the soiled and bloody ones ? Genetics is something like being tall for basketball .. its something you can't teach ..lol .Luck of the draw so to speak . Some parts of the province are more gifted in this category than others . I know this for a fact , I have a fair number of light colored dogs in my area but it is nothing like a buddy who lives 40 miles to the east . Thanx again for all the info , best of luck to all in the upcoming sale .
