what to do with a coyote?

[Smossy]

Lmao you guys are funny.

[Boss .300 winmag]

Lmao you guys are funny.

Funny, I'm completely serious about my statement.  I would never talk about another mans women like that!

[sakoshooter]

I know most of u hunters have shot a few coyotes in ur time .besides mounting or keeping the pelt what do u guys do with then?

I cook the backstraps using my venison tenderloin recipe. The hind quarters go into my scrap meat for sausage pile.

A good brine and flavorful cherry wood smoke would make a good roast a la 'yote

Hold up....you are saying that if you and I happen to bump into each other....I'm hunting completely legally with regards to all requirements.....out pops a yote....I drop him....snap a pic or two...and keep on walking. I don't take the hide, head, tail, nothing....I just walk away.......you are gonna turn me in for waste? Is that what you are saying. You want your 10 points for that? Please, don't beat around the bush....answer directly and clearly. Yes or no.

Yes. 
  Well... what I'm saying is that I might try to convince you to do the right thing if I bumped into you.       Even go so far as making you feal guilty, if you dumped the sucker after I left, well, who knows then. That'd be different.

That sounds like hunter harassment to me, and that is illegal.  That would be funny if Biggluke harassed someone for leaving a yote lay, then got cited for harassment.

Really? This argument again after we already had it in the beginning of the thread? Outstanding.

  Is it dead yet?

[h20hunter]

If it is you better eat it! I'd eat some horse meat....no problem.

[elk247]

  is it wrong that I'm not suprised by that? Good luck to your elk crew next week. I'm pulling for all you guys but I hope Dinker gets the biggest.

I wasted almost an hour this morning reading this dang thread.  I didn't see anyone mention to BiggLuke that he would be harassing someone if he wanted to complain to them about leaving a yote lay.  I had second thoughts about posting in an old thread, but I figured I'd wasted an hour of my time, I might as well post my thought too.

I've eaten one ground up.  Sausage and chili.  Was just fine, don't see the squeamishness about it.  I didn't go to great lengths to use every bit of it. 

If you own an actual farm or ranch and they are actually causing monetary damage, then that's a different story.  Since only a few percentage of Americans do that for a living, I doubt that applies to many here.  Also: Your wife's cat or small yapping dog isn't "livestock" that needs to be protected.

So only farmers and ranchers can justify killing a coyote without eating the nasty son-of-a-b**ch?  Protecting your dogs isn't a valid reason to kill an animal that's already open year round?

I doubt you ate coyote sausage.  I doubt very seriously you'd be of this opinion if you've actually eaten coyote meat.

I have butchered and eaten it just like bear or squirrel.  A bit awkward to butcher and i wouldn't make a habit of it.  I don't really care if you do or don't eat it.  Nor do I care if you do anything with the hide.  I just see a lot of over-the-top he-manship about coyotes from people that really have no direct complaint against them.   

[Curly]

No direct complaint? 

As sportsman, all of us have complaints against coyotes.  They are eating up the deer fawns that grow-up into the deer that we love to hunt.  I'd prefer to have more deer and less coyotes.
