Skunk stank on coyote

[SDHNTR]

I shot a nice one that must’ve tangled with a skunk. Ditch bound or will that smell come out after tanning? Or anything I can or should do prior to sending to Tanner?

I read once read that to get rid of skunk smell was to soak the hide in gasoline and then wash with soap and water, have never tried it but it was in an old trappers book

Soak it in gasoline and toss a match I could understand!

It shouldn’t affect the meat

Haha! BBQ’s! I do think that Dawn dish soap will take the stink out.
A lot of coyote lures contain skunk essence. Must be something in there that they like.

One of my dogs has killed quite a few skunks. The best solution we've found for getting the smell off him is Dawn dish soap mixed with apple cider vinegar and water. It's not perfect. You can still smell it on him a little bit for several days. If I killed a coyote that had that smell on it pretty bad, I'd ditch it.

There is the o'l Dawn dish soap, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mixture as well. Dawn and warm water does a fairly good job on dogs, a couple washings is a plus.

Natures miracle skunk oder remover is the absolute best. I’ve tried everything and nothing compares to it. I keep it on hand on the farm all the time.

Every one I've ever shot made me gag.

Goes in the no go pile for me. Not gonna wash a dead coyote sorry. Haha.

Coyotes smell bad enough on their own. A coyote mixed with skunk is bound for the ditch if I have anything to do with it. The gasoline idea above isn't a bad plan either. . The dang things will eat a skunk and like most dogs, they are happy to roll on a dead one.

I recall the taxidermy supply outfits selling a mixture for removing skunk odor. I don't recall ever buying it so I'm not sure if it works.

I wash all my fur prior to fleshing and stretching. You'll be able to get most of the intense smell out by washing with a tail and mane shampoo and the rest will come out after tanning if thats your goal. its a non issue.

^^ What Hackleback said. Dish soap, peroxide , and baking soda worked wonders on our old GSP. But on a yote I would just leave him for bait to shoot the next one..

This mix worked on my 2 long hair dogs recently.

Do you not put them up?...every coyote I put up basically gets washed anyways....same with fox. Tail and Mane or the old peroxide, dawn route.

Hell guys skin skunks and wash them and get the smell out...

I shoot them for bounty. If I showed up with one stinking of skunk they'd tell me to pound sand haha.

Peroxide,dish soap and backing powder is the best. When I tan skunk hides it takes the smell out of skunks badgers, mink, coyote’s. Elk in the rut can be very stinky and need to be washed in the mix also.

One more thing they don’t just tangle with skunks they eat them. We where coyote hunting moving positions and smelled skunk and found the smell as a coyote was trotting away from a culvert with a skunk in its mouth. Would have shot it but did have permission to hunt the land it was on. If you really want to tan a nice coyote smell doesn’t matter. Any good tanning shop will get the smell out for extra cost. Just get the dog skinned right or pay extra for them to skin it. I do this for people I tan hides for. Like in previous post bull elk are rank in September through November. When I do a full elk hide it has to soak over night in laundry detergent dish soap peroxide and baking powder.
