Coyote For Dinner

[captpschar]

Have any of you eaten some/a coyote?  Why or why not?

[KFhunter]

skinned a few out and wanted to puke, be hard to get past that.

[h20hunter]

Nope because I'm not starving to the point of being on the brink of death.

[AWS]

I have at a rendezvous up in Canada, they had an all game meat dinner and BBQ, while heavily spiced sauce made it edible, the coyote smell/taste still came through.  I would have to be fairly desperate before it became table fare for me.  I have eaten quite a bit of dog while in the far east and it was quite good, maybe a better chef and meat processing might have improved the coyote.

There was bobcat, mt lion, bear, beaver and raccoon at the dinner and they were all good.  I have eaten a lot of Raccoon, Beaver and Muskrats while running traplines back in WI and MN, in fact we saved  much of the trapline meat(canning, freezing and drying) for year round use at home.

[fowl smacker]

Nope, worst smelling creatures ever.  If I was in the woods starving, I'd probably eat one, but until that happens, no way.  Actually, I might cut my leg off and start on it before a coyote! 🤣

[idaho guy]

I will never eat a coyote or raccoon. They are filthy animals and I eat about everything We kill except those two. I took one bite of a back strap from a wolf I killed and I am convinced if I die from strange causes that will be the reason. It’s a good reminder of why I quit drinking

 .... Nooooooooo

There was a guy on here a couple years back that cooked one up for a holiday pot luck. If I remember right nobody complained 

[outdooraddict]

hahahaha a pot luck, what a treat. hence, another reason i dont participate in big potlucks, but i cannot lie, that would be commical to make a pot of coyote chilli and watch it get devoured.

[konradcountry]

I talked to someone that went to a neighbor's Mexican party. It was a big party with lots of families.

She really liked the tacos and asked the host what was in them.

"Coyote, they run around here so we just shoot them and eat them"

So with enough taco seasoning it is probably fine.

Glad I’m not the only one who has a pathological dislike of raccoons.  They’re the only animal that a story about one dying brings a genuine smile to my face simply because I’m happy one died, sick though that may be.

I was the one who shot that coyote out of my bathroom widow. That was a hilarious thread.

I got a whole family of raccoons with a semi truck with 26 tires on 8 axles weighing 52.5 tons doing 60+mph
 
2 big ones and 8-9 little ones, all walking across the highway like a flock of ducks....

Nothing I could do but smear them all.

See, I read that, and and I know it's awful, but it puts a smile on my face.  Any other animal I'd be bummed.  Raccoons?  *censored* em.

Just thought I'd brighten up your day a bit

Raccoon meat is known to commonly carry trichinosis. Racoons have been known to have rabies. Extremely thorough cooking is advised. Coyotes shot in any areas where wolves have been recorded could be carriers of e. granulosis.  Coyotes also have also been known to have rabies. I would sooner subsist on English sparrows and starlings than eat either of these animals. I would handle their dead bodies with disposable gloves. Yuk!

[JJB11B]

I am a wuss, I hate touching coyotes bare handed. but them things are nasty!

[Stein]

Steven Rinella cooked one up, I think in Mexico.  I remember they weren't bragging up how great it tasted.

When I took the wolf trapping class they said don't skin without gloves and DONT even gut them. They also said don't even pick up wolf poop because of the cysts that can be in them probably the e.granuloiss I cant remember the name they had for it.   

[The Marquis]

They also didn't complain.  The description was "tastes like meat"  They even cooked it with the fur still attached.  I'd absolutely try it.  If you don't try, you never find out.  Gotta try a few things, smoked, jerky, grilled etc to see if any of it is worth it.  Of course, there are people on this forum who think trout tastes bad, so I guess our tastes are all different.

[pianoman9701]

Have you ever tried dog crap or cat vomit? If you don't try, you'll never find out!

We used to hunt them a lot with our hounds they are filthy little suckers

My dog used to eat cat crap....we called in kitty roca cause it looked like almond roca

I can’t seem to find the old thread 

[DOUBLELUNG]

I was going to try it, chickened out on the smell. 

[AWS]

I love raccoon, we'd take the smaller ones and roast them just like a turkey and if you think raccoon is a filthy you've never been in a turkey barn.  A couple of the ladies that used to work for me would moonlight loading turkeys in semis.

[jackson7]

like eating a Rat, no thanks.

[captpschar]

I’d try rat.  Gotta eat something when the commies implode the economy, maybe rats are tasty?

[KFhunter]

before I ate rat I'd first try beaver, then nutria, then muskrat, then...maybe, if I were realllllly hungry. 


but not an inner city rat or a dump rat, maybe a farm rat...an organic farm rat

I will take your word for it you are not first one that’s said they are good. No way for me they are filthy  worked in a meat chicken barn a few weekends as a kid also filthy. I don’t even like skinning raccoons big greasy rats!

I heard possum is good, not gonna find out, at least not on purpose

[AWS]

I will say that the raccoons I ate were from farm country and had been living on sweet and field corn and assorted marsh delicacies no garbage can raiders in the bunch.

Well prepared muskrat is almost exactly like rabbit.

Beaver is closer to beef, it makes great traditional jerky, sausage or use just like beef.  The liver is very large in them and mild flavored, like calves liver, sliced floured and fried with onions along side eggs was a great trapline breakfast, jerky went in the pack to snack on during the day and beaver stew was a great dinner at night.

We would spend weeks in the bush living in a tent, eating meat we caught fresh everyday saved a lot of time going to town to buy it and sure made the fur check go a lot farther.  Cat tail new growth before it breaks the surface is tender tastes like asparagus.  We would bring dried corn, beans, carrots and potatoes from the garden as you didn't have to worry about them freezing and spoiling and made great stew.  Bannocks you could make in a frying pan.

Have you seen what a lot of these so called humans eat? Rat might have a better diet

I’m really not sure about this guy.  Thinks boys should dedicate themselves to win girls sports and supports cannabilism.

 Oh great! We got some Jeffrey Dahmers on here.

Then there is Si- accidentally eating raccoon crap..

[AL WORRELLS KID]

Not surprising Coyote tastes so bad considering "You are what you eat!" I'll stick to "Lutfisk," Tusen Takk!

[Dadofive]

I ate a porcupine in Alaska. Tasted like one of those pine tree air fresheners.
