"And STAY DOWN!!" - Larry and TrapLine - Puttin' a Serious Hurt on a Bitch!

It’s a forum we like to see pictures. So if you are going to process, cook, an eat it take pictures and post it up on the cooking thread.
And for I think my 3 time explaining this “no pictures no proof” is a way we bust each other’s balls around here.
Take a look at some of our big game threads. They often start out big buck or bull down. Lots of work to do still, pictures and story later. The first three responses to that will be “no pictures no proof”

Thanks Drew.....I was in mid typing this exact same statement.....:blush:

G'dog….You most certainly know that pictures are a large part of this great forum....Don't take offense to something as simple as this.....Type on, brotha,....;)
 
What kind of recipes are u thinking for the yote?

Yeah... been thinking about that... figure it'll DEFINITELY involve a marinade since this thing smells so dang Strong.

I figure it's gonna need a marinade that contains at least in part a vinegar of some kind to aid in breaking down the compounds that are producing the smell. And Rice Vinegar has a sweetness to it, so was contemplating that.

Also a lot of times people use Garlic in cooking to counteract these kinds of issues. A friend bakes cloves of Garlic submerged in Olive Oil and that isht is fan-freakin-tastic in flavor... so maybe I could bake a batch of that first... then... maybe put that and the yote meat in the crock pot to do a low-and-slow.

Another option I was thinking of is to maybe try something like maybe Amaretto... Brown Sugar.. a small squirt of Scriracha and... maybe Cumin and Basil in a Marinade. And really give that Amaretto a good amount of time to work on that meat and soften it up.

I wasn't taking offense. Just thought it was strange is all. You know how it is... when reading these things ya often can't quite gauge the intended emotional response of the reply. It was just a pattern I noticed a darn lot, so I asked about it. No harm, no foul.

Ah ok... well.. then why not make use of the "REPLY" functionality the site soo graciously offers then! Otherwise, logically, I... as the OP will naturally assume it's supposed to be directed towards me somehow. And you know... having a derisive/insulting phrase in it like "man bun"... let's just say it doesn't invoke a friendly reaction.

Remember - we talked about assuming. And it bites back again. I was a slow learner once...
 
I don't recommend any one eating mangy dog, unless your starving.
Don't do it........
To many issues can occur.
It is not worth the health issues.

She's not mangey. There's no demodectic mange. She's just quite strong in her aroma!

Hey what's the best way to remove burrs? I was thinking maybe using the hose plus a Nylon scrub Brush on her first before skinning to get all the clinging burrs off her coat. Where she went down there was a bunch of plant with clingy pokey little burrs. Or is it better to try to brush them off before employing water?

Another question... I don't have one of those tail-stripper tools for helping to remove the hide of the tail whole and in one piece. Anybody have any tips on what else around the house I can use to perform that same function?
 
350yds is a real far shot on a 25lb coyote. My experience is most come in less than 100 and the majority come a lot closer like I am not surprised to shoot one at 30yds.
My coyote gun is a bolt action 243 with a CDS it will knock down a yote at 400 all day but like I said I never get that chance because most the time they are coming in hot. Anything over 250yds is going to start dropping fast you would need to start dialing or have a scope with hold overs. Make sure if it is second focal plane you know what power to set it to for your hold overs to Work.

Looking to hit deer at that distance.

Brush all those burs out, you wont want your fleshing knife to find one.

For the tail skin a hole around where the tail connect to the body, put long screwdriver through and pull down with both hands

Is it better to try to brush them out BEFORE trying to clean them off with a hose?

RE: Tail skinning -
For clarification, are you saying -> Under the tail... skin out a little pocket with the Havalon... just enough to be able to fit a large Flatblade Screwdriver into it... then...you're saying pull down on the screwdriver with both hands? I'm assuming the idea is the screwdriver is supposed to shove down between the hide and the tailbone... without piercing thru the hide? And what...then you maybe do that again moved over a little bit and then pull down again? Or... after doing the first pull-down with a screwdriver... should I then be able to just pull off the remaining connected hide with my hands?

Please Pardon my "Twenty Questions" here.

Since you're saying pull down on the screwdriver with "two hands"... does this mean I am I be having the coyote hanging from it's neck then? I'm asking because I was just planning to process her laying upon my cooler, or a tarp on the ground kind of deal. Meh... I supposed I could just tie her neck to the cooler handle and pull away from that then, right?

Hanging by the back legs, hole between where the tail meets the top of the back. You will need to skin down from the legs first to get there.

Your not cutting the hole, when you are pulling down you will see where you need to skin around to form the hole. Tail meets the top of the back.

Dog
I call all coyotes mangy....
Wild dog has all kinds of diseases.
Be mindful...
 
I'm going to have to postpone skinning until tomorrow. Gonna use that time to study skinning vids to be 100% ready and comfortable before beginning.

The only awkward thing is in order to hang it I'll probably have to use a tree in the frontyard at curbside. Probably attempt to do that mid-day when most of the folks are at work so people don't go getting their panties in a bunch about it. Seems straight forward enough to do. May even attempt to fab-up a quick and dirty version of one of those tail stripper doo-hickeys.
