There are no XXL - XXXL grades in the Western Coyote section. That is an Eastern Section size category, so the top coyotes will be from the XL-LG size and big ones hand picked, to the best of my knowledge. I am making some assumptions.
Washing can be a good thing. Back to the washing threads... gentle soaps, no enzyme soaps, and soak, agitate for a short time like 5 minutes max, to prevent the underfur from beginning the felt making process. Washing too long will cause the underfur to "felt". I don't wash coyotes unless shot and bloody or for other obvious reasons, but I do other things to bring them up to snuff and beyond. Some of the best handled goods that I see in the depot are machine washed and brushed up real nice.
Feel free to quote Dave. Also, the pict... I sure would have liked to have such a picture years ago, had to wait to take my own pict to get one. Enjoy! As long as I can keep bugging you on here once and a while?
