If you're not going to skin them immediately - hang them by hind legs, out of the direct sun. If they are laying flat they'll freeze to the ground also bloating may occur when they dont cool properly.
If you're processing them yourself - use a correct stretcher size and be thorough when fleshing.
Its best to wash furs - ideally in a washing machine - make sure all the water is out of them. I always do this immediately after skinning.
Good luck this year
First and foremost. DO NOT BLOW THE LIVING FRICK OUT OF YOUR COYOTES WITH LARGE CALIBRE BIG GAME RIFLES!!!
Failure to do so will render most pelts in the $10 range.
Shoot coyotes with a 204 rifle and you are a big winner.
Do not shoot coyotes with maximum expansion ammo except with 204's and 17's. They do work sometimes, bullets sometimes stay in, but they often do a very bad job. When the bullets come out they blow out.
Also to maximize fur dollars, don't shoot coyotes this year. The market is badly depressed at this time.

That would be the same as telling rancher's not to sell their beef when price's are low. This would create an even bigger problem with coyote's than we have now.

????? There is very little stock right now at Fur Harvesters. Didn't have a September sale. Now the World's economy is tanking and that may have an effect, but with little inventory, prices may be higher this year, if there is a decent demand.
