To flesh out coyote ears and lips for tanning, you will need a fleshing knife, skinning knife, pliers, and a wire brush. First, separate the ear skin above the skull and remove the cartilage. Pull the skin inside out, leaving the cartilage behind, then gently scrape away remaining skin, fat, and connective tissue without damaging the cartilage. Squeeze out the inner cartilage. For the lips, carefully separate the skin without cutting the lip itself, then flesh away fat and tissue. Brush thoroughly with a wire brush, rinse with clean water, and allow to drip dry before tanning.
