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

[zach1234]

What do you do with a coyote after you kill one? I was thinking about trying  to go and hunt them. But not sure what to do with it after i shot it. What do you do with it.

[CP]

Leave it where it drops.

Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.

[AWS]

I only hunt while the hides are prime so I skin them and have them tanned to make fur items out of or sell the very best ones as wall hangings.  When fur prices are better I skin and put them up to sell at auction.

[bobcat]

Leave them. Something will eat them. Nothing in nature goes to waste.

[hunter guy]

The one's that don't have huge holes in them and are in prime I will skin and sell.

[carpsniperg2]

yum throw them on the barby JOKE NASTY MANGY YOTES LEAVE THEM LAY or skin them and sell them depending on my energy level

[benhuntin]

Used to pick them up, with plans to skin. after a weekend of drivin around with them in the truck we would dump them out. so we gave up on picking them up now we just roll em and laugh

[rasbo]

not till winter..im not big on killing for fun anymore..thats just me not a political statement

[saylean]

I tanned the one I got from wyoming last year. It's hangin by my hunting gear tiill I get a man cave

[Instinct]

curious too.. according to pg 73 in the big game under "possession and use of wildlife" #2 "waste of wildlife" "you may not allow game animals or game birds you have taken to recklessly be wasted"... so is coyotes not a game animal? i mean want to do some yote huntin for their pelts but dont want to get nailed by a warden for waste.

You should see the scattered remains in my neighbor's pastures.     I have no use for them so I let them rot.  At one time I had sixteen carcasses on a 100 acre pasture from just a couple of weeks worth of shooting off of a dead cow.

[bowhunterforever]

  Leave them for the buzzards

I thought you always just threw em on the rotisserie and coated em with some BBQ sauce and served it to your neighbors.

Coyotes are not a protected species, so that is correct, they are not considered to be a "game animal."

[Ray]

Rasbo said he needs new loincloth material all the time...so I skin them and drop the hide in his mailbox.

Im working on the summer line now.. need a anti tick cloth

[seth30]

When I was stationed down in Cali, I would hang them on the fence for the ranchers, and in doing so I had private hunting grounds full of coyotes that have never been shot at.

[PolarBear]

I haul the carcasses up to Enumclaw or Ferndale and sell them to the critter loving freaks for date night.

[shaneman153D]

I take them up on the highway and throw them at hybrid cars.   

Ok seriously, I take them to a hide & fur place that takes them in whole for $15 a pop. (during the winter)  Nice thing is, I don't have to skin them (I can't deal with that)  I swear, the guy will take anything.  I was hunting with a 7mm this year and he took every coyote I brought!

not till winter..im not big on killing for fun anymore..thats just me not a political statement

I hear you Rasbo, and I'm getting that way.  I currently rationalize by telling myself that I'm helping the ranch out.  But honestly, I feel kinda crappy every time I shoot one.   

[bowhunterforever]

Shaneman where do you take them?

[rasbo]

Soooo your a pimp :chuckle:dealing in the sex trade

whats up with the coyotes on the fences? I have driven by a few ranches that had multiply coyotes dangling over the fences? is there a reason for that? jw 

[ICEMAN]

Some guys hang them to show the rancher they were successful (helpful to the rancher). Others for braggadocia

[shaneman153D]

Shaneman where do you take them?

Moscow Hide & Fur in ID.  However I've heard that a lot of places will take them whole like that.  I'm looking for another place, last year they quit taking them in after 2 trips (35 coyotes maybe?).  Only trouble with doing it that way is you have to have a lot of storage space, we could only stuff about 17 in my friend's freezer.

[raevan]

On page 66 of the 2010 hunting regs Small Game, Coyote are listed as a Small Game animal, therefore to waste it would be in violation of the law. Page 73:Under "Possesion and use of Wildlife" Item number 2 states: Waste of Wildlife:You may NOT allow game animals or game birds you have taken to recklessly be wasted.

Coyote Skulls, Bones, Hides and claws can be sold.

[bobcat]

Coyotes are not a protected species so I don't think you are required to use them for anything. I don't know many people who would want to eat them.

I think either you are confused a bit, or I am.  Here is my take on this, take it for what it's worth. 

Just because parts of an animal can be sold, does not mean it is a "game" type animal.  A bear IS a game animal, and as far as I know, you may not sell it's parts.  I've heard of people going to jail for doing that.  Also, I don't think you can legally sell anything from a coyote carcass without a trapping license.  (Yes, we have trapping licenses).  If an animal is harvested with the intent to profit from it's parts, I think it ceases to be "game" and become commercial.  Also, as far as I know, a coyote is also classified as a "fur bearer".  I think the separation comes from both the intent to eat it or not, and maybe from WDFW selling a tag for it.  Although I've eaten some raccoon, some beaver, and some porcupine once, I still wouldn't consider them a game animal.  The raccoon, and bobcat are listed as "small game", however it can be trapped as a  furbearer just like a coyote.   

In answer to the thread title; my son and I sell the pelts that are prime and good.  This time of the year, it's more about fawn protection as no hides are any good.  My son has been saving some of the skulls to whiten, but we don't use anything else from the carcass.  If someone wants them, I'll gladly tell you where they are so they don't go to "waste".  That's my take on it.

This is from the WDFW website:

Legal Status

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife does not classify coyotes as game animals, but a state license is required to hunt or trap them (RCW 77.32.010). The owner, the owner's immediate family, employee, or a tenant of real property may kill or trap a coyote on that property if it is damaging crops or domestic animals (RCW 77.36.030). A license is not required in such cases. Check with your county and/or local jurisdiction for local restrictions. Except for bona fide public or private zoological parks, persons and entities are prohibited from importing a coyote into Washington State without a permit from the Department of Agriculture and written permission from the Department of Health. Persons and entities are also prohibited from acquiring, selling, bartering, exchanging, giving, purchasing, or trapping a coyote for a pet or export (WAC 246-100-191).

Wish I had known that, wouldn't have bought a license!

[bobcat]

Don't you have a hunting license anyway?

[bearpaw]

What do you do with a coyote after you kill one? I was thinking about trying  to go and hunt them. But not sure what to do with it after i shot it. What do you do with it.

LMAO   

[ratherhunt]

Leave them where they drop

[shaneman153D]

Don't you have a hunting license anyway?

Yeah, but I only really hunt coyotes in WA.  I might try for a deer this year, but I won't buy a big game license until Oct.

[Huntbear]

After I shoot them, there is usually softball size holes in em.. not good for much but more coyote bait.
