stupid and more stupid!!

I ran out of thread ;last weeek for sewing up the hides [usually use heavy #69 embroydery thread, I found soem heavy cotton that i could not break with my hands so iw as sure it would be ok, I did up 11 coyotes last week with that thread and tonight when I took them off the strechers 5 of them the threads broke and you can see the spots they were sewed!!I tried ot repair them now but I think I just threw abotu 200 bucks out the window by being in a hurry and not waitign for the right thread!! I wonder when I will ever start to think before I do stupid things that just cost me money!!!

How big of holes does the bullet leave? What if you don't sew the holes, does the price drop a lot?

Another question: When I get my drivers license im hitting the field after the coyotes, seen a bunch og sign and yotes. I have a cottontail distress call. Will that be all I need?

It all depends on the size of gun ect, you have to sew up every hole even a a couple stitches were the bullet enters,If any dmamage is seen in the finished product the price usually drops a bit but depends on were, in the neck on the sides or belly are the worst, if right in the center of the back not as bad couse that is were they split them to start the process of tanning! This year thoguht there is a lot of coyotes still in the market from all the idiots who were out last year with nsow machines and helped get one of the highest kills ever in history,So in turn the market isstartign out a bit slow,They are expecting abotu 30% drops in price of top line coyotes[soem has to do with the drop of the US doller] seeing all pelts are bought in US funds,the section 3 which are bad damages or early or late coyotes will be very hard to sell if not impossable, and the partailly damages will be worth 5-8 bucks compared to 40 for a non damaged!

BTW are you in bush country?? Is there cottontails in your area? If so the cottontail will work but if there are not any it will not bring in most coyotes, I would recommend gettigna few more calls and having a variation!
