I figure if I have the chance, again, I could get the pelt and leave the rest for a bear and take him, as well. :dunno:
Can anyone elaborate on this for me?
Thank you, in advance.

One possible outlet is to send them to someplace like Moyle's Tannery, http://moytown.com/ (http://moytown.com/) and get them tanned, then look into selling as wall decorations, I see that, believe it or not, ebay is a large seller of raw and processed furs....

But, like you said, there are way too many yotes....every one you can ventilate, regardless of whether you do anything with the hide, means that many more fawns, calves and such have one more chance to make it.
Good luck, hope this helped.

I called George 2 or 3 weeks ago and he said $10-$15 on the carcass. He pays his guys $2 to skin them. I'm not going to bring them back to the pickup for that.

It all depends on when and where you shoot them (E Wa Yotes are worth something, W Wa yotes are not) and how the fur market is shaping up for the year if you sell to George. Selling to taxidermists can get you more if you find someone who wants them, skinning for taxidemy takes more time than skinning for the fur market.

I have friends and relatives that are cattle ranchers. More than once they have watched coyotes hang back from a cow about to give birth and when she is in the midst of delivering and pretty helpless they will start eating the partially born calf. Many cows have an odd behavior before giving birth, and it seems that coyotes recognize this and hold back and wait for them to start delivering. I'm not blaming the coyote any more than I would blame a person for going to the grocery store. I admire predators and respect what they must do to survive. There are a lot of coyotes, and they are pretty prolific. Hunting isn't going to wipe them out. Truth be told some thinning probably helps with their own competition for food sources and keeps them from going into neighborhoods and eating people's pets and the like.
I personally believe any hunted animal deserves a quick death. It's a very personal choice, but I have never looked at taking a coyote as wasting a life. It might actually help save lives, including those of other coyotes.
