So I ripped a tail off a coyote pretty close to the base of it while skinning one today.
It's a nice big adult male with a real nice pelt too.....Dang!
I'm going to split the tail and sew it on because I just hate to send it to auction that way. Has anyone ever done it and does anyone think that it'll make any difference? I know that it'll grade damaged but I figure that the tail has to be worth something if it's re-attached to the pelt.
