i just bomb em and then whack crows and maggies off of them. a coyote kill is ho hum, but a trifecta, now that is where its at!
It is illegal to kill magpies! Why would you anyways? They do not harm game populations and they're not much of a challenge off a carcass. :dunno:
Tried some yote backstrap once, grilled and bacon wrapped.... Made the bacon taste bad! :puke:

did you really try some yote backstrap?? I've always wondered what it would taste like thinking shoot can it really be that bad? I enjoy just about any type of meat i've ever tried. What would you compare the taste too???
Dog crap wrapped with week old hunting socks, from early archery... the socks were what the bacon turned into. :chuckle: The best part was I had a city bumpkin friend over for that one. :IBCOOL: We at least had duck to eat as well.
In defense of the coyote, it was eating a dead beaver when I shot it while duck hunting, maybe a deer fed one tastes better.

Now, realistically, I may not get good enough to make a top quality mount from my work, but I aspire. Ask questions on the forum, and you will learn. (Bless Michelle Nelson.)

skin 'em and tan the hide, looks nice hanging in the living room, or there is a guy in Colfax who buys whole coyotes for $20 each.
squirt me some contact info please.....I tend to stack a bunch up this time of year.

not illegeal if they are concentrated in numbers, in the act of depredation, damaging crops, wildlife or property. in the age of bird flu, it is the responsible thing to do....keep them moving along instead of sitting around making each other deathly ill.i just bomb em and then whack crows and maggies off of them. a coyote kill is ho hum, but a trifecta, now that is where its at!

when maggies come to a carcass, they are thick, and dang near as wary as a crow.

Legal Status
Magpies are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. However, under the Code of Federal Regulations, “a Federal permit shall not be required to control . . . magpies, when found committing or about to commit depredations upon ornamental or shade trees, agricultural crops, livestock, or wildlife, or when concentrated in such numbers as to constitute a health hazard or other nuisance . . .”from: http://wdfw.wa.gov/living/magpies.html (http://wdfw.wa.gov/living/magpies.html)
If you have a bunch hanging out in your yard or barn or orchard, this seems to be an OK time to control them. I would argue that magpies on a carcass are simply doing their "job".
Magpies help control pest insects such as grasshoppers and tent caterpillars, and also “clean up” dead animals and garbage scattered by other animals. Other species of birds and mammals often use unoccupied magpie nests. from above as well.
Sorry to threadjack but shooting things simply for the sake of killing something is one of my biggest disappointments with some hunters.

I used to skin out and sell hides when prices were better.

Also, IMO it's gross, unethical and anti-hunting to shoot an animal to "let it rot."
Use the hide, use the meat, take the teeth, something... or don't shoot them.

lokidog is right on with regards to magpies and starlings (don't shoot one, shoot the other).
Also, IMO it's gross, unethical and anti-hunting to shoot an animal to "let it rot."
Use the hide, use the meat, take the teeth, something... or don't shoot them.
There is a reason that theres no bag limit on the yoters.. Its because they overpopulate and and wreak havoc on the fawns. Therefore in this case it is not really a bad thing to whack one and let it rot. I would take the hide if it was nice but thats about it. If you post your address I'll send you the meat from everyone i shoot this year! :yike: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
