Thanks, I would assume leaving them where they lay depends on whether it's public or private?

Well, all those I have shot have been out in the National Forest and never gave it a thought, considering they were most likely gone within a few hours of my leaving them.

I appreciate your response and take on it. When taking for the pelt what caliber do you use? Also how would one find a tanner for the hide?

.54 caliber , a .530 lead round ball...a .15 patch...and 80 grains of 2F black powder.
This is my primary hunting and shooting rifle....
As for a tanner...
I have done it myself...brain tan...or had help from a Tribal member.

That is a beautiful rifle. I have a black powder rifle I got from my grandfather that I need to restore. Hopefully it will be a winter project this year..54 caliber , a .530 lead round ball...a .15 patch...and 80 grains of 2F black powder.

I've tanned a couple using 'old school' methods which are a little more time consuming. There are a few different ways to do it but look into it.

I will be looking into to see whether I would want to or if someone near me does it. Thanks

Thank you...
As far as restoring a black powder rifle...always a worthwhile endeavor .
I have some experience with muzzle loading firearms , in the shooting ...along with the cleaning , maintaining and restoring thereof.
If I can of some help here...please let me know.

Not coyote...
But a jacket I made from the last elk I got.
Brain tan...lots of work...but a cool jacket.
Brain tan is very soft and when smoked...will not stretch all outta shape when wet and be stiff when dried.

Let em lay where they drop in the field next to me we have vulchers and the last two the eagles got in on the feast too. The vultures didn't want anything to do with the eagles and waited in the trees till they had their fill. Got to see the eagles up close behind my place a few times.

Thank you....
A little over a week...lots of work with the fleshing of hide...rubbing in the brains and salt...smoking the hide...
Then of course the cutting and sewing of it into the jacket...that took a bit longer.
Afterwards...I knew why mountain men married into a tribe....
Too much work for me...I'd rather hunt and shoot....
