Title: Yakima coyote hunting
Post by: Jleep19 on August 09, 2013, 09:28:15 PM: Hey I'm going to go scouting this weekend over around Yakima and thought I might try getting some yotes in the process. I've never hunted over there so I was just trying to find any good areas to start off at. Any info will help. I'm not askin for anybody's secret spot just trying to get the lay of the land! Thank you!

I live off of 64th and washington and I hear yotes howling at night all the time in the orchards and alfalfa fields. I also saw one run across the west valley high school parking lot last week. Cowiche area has a few as well as the lt murry. Any public land around Yakima you can find coyotes. Kill them all and don't educate them. :tup: good luck and watch out for snakes!

Post by: dmv9 on August 13, 2013, 09:04:39 AM: What do you do with the coyotes after shooting them? Pelts? Food? Are they tasty?

It seems to be the only thing you can hunt year round.

Post by: AWS on August 13, 2013, 11:45:46 AM: When the fur is prime(Nov-Feb) you can sell the pelts or tan them and make items like gloves, mitten, vest, coats, pretty much anything want, my wife wants a coyote throw for the house here. Commercial garment tanning is about $20/ea or you can tan them yourself, I used to tan skunk pelts and make mittens, it's a lot of work.

While I've eaten coyote it wouldn't be on my top ten list, might not even make the top one-hundred and even then I'd like a lot of strong sauce on it, now raccoon, beaver, muskrat, bobcat, and turtle are top notch fare.
