I know a very experienced skinner who taught me to leave it in, but I don't. He puts two cuts in each ear and said that it dried the ear and there was no rot. He's very fast with putting up coyotes though and my thought was that he didn't spend too much time on the little things.....just get them done fast. He gets good money for his coyotes but I prefer to take an extra 10 minutes per pelt. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
