[QUOTE="Tyson C., post: 1746614, member: 9534"] ^ i would say probably 2-3 coyote hides at least???, depends on what hide you are doing. on a full deer hide i would say probably 2 at most??? Just overall the hides need to be able to float at least. AND MAKE SURE TO USE PLASTIC CONTAINERS. i have read that metal cans can corrode and act differently with the pickle mix. i am doing two coon hides right now and WOW these are fatty, greasy, and messy compared to the yotes. Once the hides were thawed out i started cutting off everything i could (fat, fat, and more fat). Also my new challenge is keeping them "cased" (i think that is the term?) skinned, NO cutting up the stomach, arms, etc...i am basically keeping the hide all as one, no cutting, the hide basically looks like a tube sock. Another tip is when doing coons it is a good idea to get another small bucket (i have a 2gallon plastic trash can) and dump some 409 in there to break up the fat and grease off the hide before you pickle them. What im in process of doing--- (fixing to pickle today) -thawed out hide and trimmed fat -soaked them in 409 for about 15min, -rinse off with tap water and dry off the best i can and pick at them some more -salted till next day or so -trimmed off more fat etc... -soaked them in 409 for about 15min -rinse off with tap water and dry off the best i can and pick at them some more -salted till next day -clean off salt, pick at it and pickle another thing, since they are cased, is cleaning the meat off that little head is a little harder. so i went and got a 2ft long x 2" round PVC so that it would fit up further into the head, since my original 4" PVC is too big to fit into the head area and since i can not cut them open like a fillet, like i did on the yotes, it is making a little bit time more time friendly with the ol knife. BUT it is something new for me to try and i think so far they are looking good. [/QUOTE]
