What do you do with them?

[chrisb]

I'm thinking about trying my hand at coyote hunting... but what do i do with them once I kill one?

Also any advice you can give to a novice would be greatly appreciated.

[EastWaViking]

you can skin them and tan the hides, or leave them lay.

i keep the tails laying around till the wife makes me throw them out

Then what? I know people use deer skin for gloves and such but other than trophy quality what could these be used for?

Thoughts on best type of call you use on the wet side?

I hate skinning the slimy little buggers, but I need a good tanned Yote hide on my wall. I kept a really nice tail from last year. I split it and took the flesh out. No smell at all. I might use it as part of a decoy later. Otherwise, leave'm lay. You're helping keep the eco system in balance. They bread like Rabbits and pester farmers. Bait... (did I say that?) for other vermin. Crab bait!

Skin them out if they don't have any mange and call Cascade Biological Supply to sell them. Then turn these.........

Be sure to cook it medium rare or it's tough.

Hang one one the wall or throw it over the back of the couch in the trophy room.  Once you get a couple tanned ones, just leave them for the magpies.

Cool Thanks for all the info guys.

It's such a waste to leave them lay.  You should take the time to skin them, flesh them and stretch them.  Then do a couple of things, either sell them at a fur auction, pays for your ammo and gas.  Or have them tanned and sell them for quite a bit more.  It's not that much work.

[chrisb]

where can i find a fur auction? what kind of prep needs done to the hide to sell it at auction... and how much $ are we talking about?

[rasbo]

8 to 15 dollars for an odor hound...

Seattle has an auction.  Skin, flesh and stretch.  Hang onto them till later in the winter, probably bring around $15-$25 a piece.  Once you do a few hides they are not that much work and worth $20ish.  Get them tanned for around $35 and sell them for $75 and up.
