A G-Man that was working here years ago said they used steel shot from the airplanes on coyotes. I can't remember the reason why.

Pretty amazing how fast you can do them. 3 coons in 11 min. Can you do coyotes that quick too?

There was brief stint where steel was used out of the airplane but due to bad performance and recochei' (sp?) it got cancelled

Coyotes take a bit longer to flesh than the coon. I would think 5 minutes and i should have a coyote fully fleshed out. I had a buddy of mine bring over 3 cold coyotes the other day, and i didn't know it but he timed me, and it took me 16 minutes to skin those three coyotes by hand because he wanted to see how i do it by hand. The skinning machine would speed that time up a bit. He also timed me on a coon that i had laying there and from the time i picked up the brush to comb it out, i had it peeled in 1minute 40 seconds but i used the machine on that one.
On coon i try to average roughly 2minutes to skin, and 2.5 to flesh. It sure helps to be fast, but not to the point you hurt your end product by rushing.
