Not exactly true. They are worth something. Just don't shoot or trap them before prime. You may not get 100.00 dollar bill for one like  in Montana or Alberta at a fur auction. I like waiting until last week of November hides will be prime. Some people will be worried about the guard hairs, but I don't. I have had folks look at the hides and asked if I got the coyotes in eastern WA. but I don't think they knew a lot about yotes.
Also, don't just focus on fur sales. there is a market for wall hangings. According to my newest Moyle Mink  & Tannery pamphlet received two days ago getting one tanned with cost you 32.00, you charge 150.00 for it. They look great by themselves or next to a deer or elk rack. Tanning yourself is cheaper and more of a pain in the butt, but with Moyle is no hassle. This idea of wall hangings is not new. I have driven back an fourth to Alaska and a few times and Road Houses would have furs for sale and for example an untanned fox would go for 125.00. I had a traditional archery guy wanted one for a quiver. A neighbor of mine who is in to muzzle loaders gets coyote faces to make stuff out of. I once traded a fox in the round for a 410. shotgun, but that was back in the day

Find some clear cuts on the other side of the Hood Canal and try fawn distress call.

Shot a coyote tonight.  Hit it at least once, tracked a blood trail for about a mile in the dark and then had to call it off and head back home.  So no recovery    I'm pretty sure it's down though.  Was finding 2" diameter blood spots about every 100-200 feet.

Here's a link to the scope cam video.  Additional details in the youtube video description.

Got my number 2 and 3 already, been good so far. I severed her spine on a broadside and hit him right under his head in the chest, 22 Nosler and no exit holes bigger than a pen.

Shot off a helmet thermal and bering optics wpt scope.

Yeah I think you're right.

Added two more this morning.  Third one got away. 

First one came in solo early this AM (note the frost on him).  The 243 shooting 55 gr Sierra over Varget somewhere around 3,800 fps.  Broadside shot.  No exit and will have to skin to find the entrance. 

Second was part of a pair.  That one was facing me at the shot. 

Bang Flops- Like lightning, never heard the thunder.  I'm liking these 55's.

Mousing around this afternoon.
