    ..that can skin, flesh, and salt hides for me? I have a farmer who asked me to trap coyotes off his farm. I'm good at trapping them but I'm a terrible skinner and flesher. Besides that I'm most certain the HOA wouldn't allow it. I can't hardly fart outside without hearing from the HOA.

    Thanks, Dinny

    HOA’s would hate me. Population density matters. Wish the city dwellers would quit come towards me.
    Skinning is easy. Just take your time. Set up a kill room in the garage and shut the door. If you need to know how to set up a kill room watch dexter. Tanning takes time.
    I think a small dreasing area for the few coyotes you will catch can be hidden from the HOA using a garage with shut door and covered windows

    If this works out for you, please pass their contact info. I'm good at catching fish, but I don't like the part between the live-well and little packages stacked in my freezer. Next we will move on to the time between a well placed arrow and a Venison loin steak next to my corn and broccoli.

    When I trapped I had a yard shed that was used. Place to clean them and hang the stretchers. It doesn't really take much room.

    The problem was it become not worth the extra work. Now I just sell the entire animal to the fur buyer and he does the extra work. When all the extra work was only worth a $1-2 per fur it no longer was worth it to me.

    I plan to send them to Z&L Tannery and give them to my son. We started a collection when we lived in VA and I had a trapper there who would flesh and salt my hides.

    What would a job like that pay?
