I've seen it with deer. Damndest thing. Ticks on the inside of the hide

I doubt that they are ticks.  More likely Sarcoptes.    If on a human the condition would be called Scabies......and it's highly transmissible, so I hope you took a bath and washed your clothes after skinning it. 🙂

Not at all, canine Sarcoptes victims become hairless/partially hairless  and they stink terribly. I don't know anyone who could stand to skin one.  Ivermectin is the cure though if you start treatment soon enough. It's also the prevention.

You mean like this coyote in my yard?
