What do you do with a coyote after you kill it?

[Mossyfam]

I have never been coyote hunting but was thinking about doing it next spring.  I have heard that you can take the pelt to a taxidermist and they will pay you for it.  I've also heard about taking the nose and the ears in as well.  Do people still do this or is it more of population control now.

You should do a coyte backstrap BBQ

I'd try and take a pic of it, then try and kill another.

Buzzards gotta eat to.

I was just thinking about something my Grandpa taught me.  He said you should never kill anything that you wouldn't eat.  Anybody have any good recipes?  I'm pretty sure I have eaten dog overseas a time or two.

Here's a link with several recipes:  http://www.foremostcoyotehunting.com/2011/02/eating-coyote.html

Here's the one I like the best: 

Sun Baked Coyote
(I got this one from an old-time mountain man). Shoot a coyote. Let it sit in the sun for ten days. Come back, and you'll find nothing but bones and hide as others have gobbled up the meat. Then thank your lucky stars that YOU didn't have to eat it (just teasing of course, but we all have to be able to laugh at ourselves, right?).

If you wait until they are prime you can sell them or have them tanned for wall hangings or to make useful items like mittens, hats, vesst, my wife wants a throw for the house here.  Tanning is about $20 each if they are skinned and dried.

Which Tannery are you using AWS?

What do I do with a coyote after I kill it?  If it's between November and February, I skin it.  If it's not, I do nothing with it.

I hope not.  This one went 13pages. http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,126303.0/topicseen.html
 If you really want to know, scan threw that ^ tread.. Some really great answers in there.   Lets try and keep this one civil.

I myself only shoot them from Nov1-Feb 28, when there hide is good. Then give them to a friend that preps & sells the hides.
