Here are my pelts so far this season. I ship them to NAFA (North American Fur Auction). I was happy with my return last year. You can look them up online, and see just what kind of prices they paid last season. They have an auction coming up next week, and that will set some prices for this season.

There are some excellent videos online that show how to do it, I can't remember exactly where, but I saw them a while back.
Thanks guys, for the compliments.
I'm not sure about prime dates here, I've only been here two seasons, but I waited until November just to be sure.

Tonymiller7 - look for a video called "Hunting and Skinning for Profit" by Blaine Eddy. I've put up coyote skins this way for years and have always gotten top dollar from the auctions. He uses a washing machine to clean the coyotes skins but I've just used a 5 gallon bucket and water and it seems to work just fine. With the current fur prices you'll at least make back some gas money! Good Luck! FYI Fur buyers only buy prime furs which usually means coyotes shot from late November to early February. The rest of the year they are worthless to sell.

Do you just leave them in the field to rot; take them to a state disposal site or what? What does the state & feds say to do on managed land and what do most private land owners say or do they even care?

I do not hunt coyotes yet but have a grandson that wants to start this year. He's not in pelts, just wants to be out hunting and to get better at it. So after reading the posts here I am curious what do you do with the coyotes you shoot from late February to end of October????i leave those lay where they fall most times(public land) but private land I pack them home to dispose of. They do not rot! The other coyotes will eat them quickly, some times over night they are reduced to bones and fur!

Is there anyone that you could sell the dogs to after hunting them?
About the only one I know that buys coyotes in the round is George Brady in Pateros.
When I used to trap coyotes they would be pretty flat until late in Oct. I would start first of Oct and they would start getting decent in the middle of the month depending on age. Young grow out a little later then old ones.
On the west side they are going bad by the end of the year but stay pretty good on the east side until 1st of Feb.

the ones I was talking about leaving lay are after prime season. Aka summer dogs. I do skin every dog that's not terrible. Even a few past primeI do not hunt coyotes yet but have a grandson that wants to start this year. He's not in pelts, just wants to be out hunting and to get better at it.
