Skinnin coons

Just curious how long it takes some of you to skin one. It takes me about 10 min or so. I know a older guy that Can skin one while hes walking and carrying on a conversation.

Beginning of the season 10 minutes by the end 2 or 3 minutes...that old guy, thats impressive!

less than 2 minutes!! I skin them just after they hit the ground!!

I hadn't skinned one in about 20 years. I'm 72 years old with arthritis in both hands. Last week I skinned one. I think it took about two hours and forty seven minutes.LOL

Y'all skining coons in the summer ?

Posted by shadinc on 06-04-2015 10:50 PM:

My friend wanted a hide to play with his pups. I think they were already trained before I got the hide off of that coon.

Back in the day when hides were High i could skin a possum quick 6 to 7 dollars a piece !

I haven't skinned a coon in several years.

Used to skin them in about five minutes.

I read your post on off topics, most of these guys aren't taking the time to check these coon for round worms, if u would cut that part out of your skinning and maybe some other things your checking for, u could be the fastest

I actually posted that in jest...it does take me considerably more time but there is a for real reason...first off, I kill very few coons. We don't have the population we once had in this area, so if I kill one it is to mount. I do taxidermy as a hobby and it's a whole different ballgame when you cant cut thru the hide and have to be extra careful to turn the ears, skin down to the last joint of each toe, etc.

That's a good reason, I bought fur for a few years and yes they r wormy and flea infested

Yeah, I have skinned them and seen these weird worms just under the skin on their back feet...I asked a veterinarian friend of mine and he said it was a "migration" of round worms. Whenever I get them to relocate to the woods behind my house I always worm them and they always unload a metric $hit ton of round worms...I thought they were just bad around here but I guess they are everywhere. It has to be hard on them during the dead of winter.

Never seen that and I don't think want to

Am I the only one that is having a hard time believing someone can skin a coon while they are walking?

Posted by yadkintar on 06-05-2015 01:53 PM:

I can hang them up and can't pull the skin off in two minutes let alone walk and do it I would fall over everything in the woods lol!!!!

Posted by HOBO on 06-05-2015 01:53 PM:

Todd, you're not the only one. If I skinned a coon while walking, I would be somewhere in the middle of Kentucky when I finished. I live in south Louisiana.

Skinnin' Coon

I've bought hides for a long time . But have since quit , year before last . Belive me when I tell you . I would just as soon skin them myself . The key and most people don't follow . IS TO USE A SHARP KNIFE !!!

How do you strip the tail and skin out eyes and ears while you're walking? I mean something small and light like a rabbit I'm sure I could do but a coon? I would love to see the video. Well worth making a video Blue2011 !
