Oh god. Coyotes just stink.  :puke:
Gutpile, You might want to take the fur off before you roast them over a fire.  :chuckle:

I don't roast them. I usually dice up the backstraps, add a little garlic, a little doe urine, and mix them with this..........
I thought you knew that.

The guts just STINK!  Kind of like rabbits, but worse.  We had a family friend that was a bear guide in Ontario, he killed or had a part in the demise of hundreds of bears and never gutted a one.  Just skin, quarter, and take out the backstraps, leave the stinky rest for the yotes.

Most of the bears I have gutted smelled like wine..or at least fermented berries. Sometimes kinda sweet.

I have killed 10 bears myself and been in on the gutting/field butchering of another 10 or so. I have never noticed bears to smell any worse than anything else. In fact they often smell better. I really do not know what the heck folks are talking about. Rufous.

The spring bear I got this year made me gag twice....which is really rare. I have a pretty tough stomach.

I would rather work on a bear instead of a coyote/coon anyday.

Come to think of it I have never gutted anything that has even come close to making me gag.  I have seen and smelled some pretty rank stuff.

Only one bear made me gag, it was a Griz with maggots and old chunks of meat all threw it's fur from rolling on an old Moose carcass....  A roll into the river and some dawn dish washing soap, he was fresh and clean...

i have been around of lot of dead animals and bears take the cake. i can't think why some would say they don't stink very much, man i have never gaged over any dead animal :dunno: but bears do have a stink to them.
