Coyote Carcass

Spurchaser said:
My first year trapping about 8 years ago I skinned everything…found out real quick Southern fur is worthless if you count your time and freezer space into the equation.
I now have spots on every property I call the “rainbow bridge” where I dump carcasses.
Had one landowner that laughed at my prices when he inquired about predator removal. He said, the furs would be my payment, lol. I told him he could pay my fees and keep the furs himself if he wanted. He declined and started calling “professional trappers” and really got a shock at their prices. He called me back and I politely declined and told him I was full and had no more time to spare for his property. When he calls this year I’ll throw out thermal hunting vs trapping and see what he says, and of course if he wants the fur he’s welcome to pick them up from wherever he designates the “rainbow bridge”.

Same thing here. Fur buyer is 3.5 hours away so theres no possible way to make money unless you shoot a uhaul full. He comes about an hour away once a year, even then it isnt worth it. $3 raw hides if you are lucky. If you spend the time to flesh and board them youll get a nice crisp $10 bill for all your time and work on a great fur. Now only 1/10 you shoot here are even any good with all the mange, and the holes i blow through them.

Western yotes are definitely worth more, but ours arent worth touching

I have been looking to the forum for an idea about this. So after I get my first coyote, when ever that may be. What do you do with them? I see some skin them and I would like to try that also and do something with the furs. What do you do with the meat and bones? Do you leave them out where you shoot them? I have read that some skin in the field and I would do that as I live kinda in a suburbia but wondering what I would do with the rest?

I’m haven’t got one yet either, but I’m gonna take a few cool pictures, try and tan em myself unless he’s fugly. Another idea is keeping the skull. Somethin like this guy does.
 
I posted early in this thread, kinda jokingly quoting Jose Wales, but then I thought that my true answer might be funny. So, I have about a quarter mile of freshwater creek that makes up my rear property line, and there is a small bridge that crosses the creek, on my place. I throw my coyotes into the creek. Ive seen them rot away uneaten in fields for months, so I throw them in the creek. My sincerest hope is that one day thousands of years from now, some 19 year old archeogist stumbles into my bone collection, and has to go ask why the ancient people would have gone around massacring coyotes for decades and dumping them in one spot.

The wise old professor will say: son, many years ago there were a few men out there doing the lord's work, and this is how we know we've found the camp of one of their best.".

Coyote recipes?

My hunting buddy mentioned in passing the other day that someone had told him at work about a web site that had recipes for cooking yotes. While I can't imagine ever being hungry enough to eat dog, I just wondered if anyone knew anything about this.

I just got $350 for these 16 coyotes. Most of these were just easiest to drag to the truck. I left a lot more lay this year and I feel a little bad about it. They went between $30-$20 for most of them. Just skinned them and froze. The buyer did the fleshing and sewing.

I have found a small pocket of coyotes with mange lately so hopefully it doesn’t spread. First time I’ve seen it in my area.

Wow you really did it and a good job at that 👍. I’m gonna try it hopefully this year but was thinking to do a strongly spiced lamb or goat recipe and substitute in the coyote. Either tacos or Uyghur kebabs with cumin on the bbq

Another idea is debone and grind up the coyote and add a bit of spice for burgers. If you get company you can just defrost and cook those burgers for them while you eat the good stuff like steaks

I've eaten dog in the Far East and it was great with plum sauce and garlic greens. I've had coyote in BBQ and chilli both tasted like coyotes smell, nothing could overcome that. It might be the chef vs the ingredients.

Down here you’d face some serious issues throwing carcasses in waterways.
I carry mine to an open area generally designated by the landowner so the buzzards can find it easier.

Just saw a case on Lone Star Law (ride along w/TP&W game wardens) in which the officers investigated such, tracked down the responsible party. Don't remember if any fines, but the individual was required to clean up the site.
 
You guys live in states where water is rare and coveted. There's a creek here a quarter mile in every direction. I live in the middle of nowhere. The next home down that creek within 200y of the creek is probably 5 or 6 miles away.
 
Man I live in Georgia where there’s a bridge every few hundred yards, lol.
Just raised different I guess, my Dad would’ve whooped my tail for dumping something in the creek.

around here cows are not allowed in the creek. now...all the manure in the fields has to go somewhere when it rains, but why add to it.

This reaction is virtue signaling. The run off from ag is poison, and it's everywhere. Fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, a hundred cows per mile, and you boys are pretending that letting fish eat an organic coyote is bad. This is why milk that comes out of a cow is called "raw milk", instead of just "milk"

So in otherwords since some contaminants are already there, the hell with it. Paper plants and other industrial plants might as well go back to dumping in all our water ways as there is no such thing as clean water by that thinking.
