Coyotes- newbie question

[Baldkrash]

What do you do with the coyotes you kill? They don't seem like something edible?

 

[8SteelTown]

Baldkrash, it depends... some guys do it for the skull and fur trophies... some do it and just leave them (they get used up by the birds, bugs, and other dogs and help the birds/bunnies/deer populations improve)... I've even heard of a couple dudes who've eaten them which I would NOT recommend! My buddy's first coyote got skinned and head removed. We went back to the spot the next week and it was just a pile of bones...

I hear that if you crock pot them for like a week with barbeque sauce and bottle of whiskey its good. I understand though, that you need to drink the entire bottle of whiskey right before you eat the dog. ;D

I am with 8Steel on this and DO NOT EAT THEM!

I actually met a guy once, who was rather new to the hunting thing and shot a coyote...and then ate it. He said it was terrible but still managed to clean his plate. GROSS!

Well some I Remove the head and other I let stay where they lay. For the most part us coyote hunter leave them in a place where others wont come across them easily.

Eating coyote sounds as appetizing as eating ground up ground squirrel

 

[breacher]

Just wrap some bacon around it and it'll be fine.

Eating coyote sounds as appetizing as eating ground up ground squirrel

or like eating carp.

I hear smoked carp tastes like ham. I wonder if smoked coyote tastes like pulled pork? ;D

 

[Baldkrash]

So it's not considered poaching to just leave them? I was thinking of going out and trying to get my first, but wasn't sure if I could leave it after I take my pics to show you guys

 

[breacher]

Keep the skull and do a euro mount.

 

[8SteelTown]

I think anything considered a nuisance is allowed to be killed and disposed of in any way seen fit. It's not poaching if you're not illegally obtaining the game. If you kill and pile up a bunch of jackrabbits or put out last night's leftovers to lure them in, then yes, you're poaching.

WE are the only thing keeping their population explosion in check (even though I'm 0 for 7 on coyote trips). You are the judge, jury, and executioner. Go do work!

It is not considered a Game Animal so you may leave it behind. Make sure you know your hunting laws. Fox and bobcat are not in season now so if they come in you can't shot them.

If you are shooting coyotes in a place people frequent regularly then make sure you leave it in a place others wont come across it as easily.

 

[Baldkrash]

Thanks for the input, hopefully I will be posting a pic of my first "yote" kill soon.

You can use bait for yotes....................I knew a guy named Curtis that made jerky out of yotes

 

[wheels]

Some people will hunt over a bone pill like on ranches. but really just use your calls they are coming in for the food then

That guy was something else. I think he ate to much of his jerky.
