Coyote Meat?

There is no answer, neither yes nor no, in my post, since there was no question in yours. You simply made a pronouncement of what you didn't like, took a rather condescending and heavy-handed swipe at those who did that which you don't like, and then told us in no uncertain terms that we should stop it and fall in line with your way of thinking. Since you were so proud of the values that you were instilling in your kids, I thought it might be helpful to point out that there were reasons for shooting coyotes that went beyond pure sport or the procuring of food, trying to expand your mind a bit for the children's sake since you seemed to simply be ignorant of those reasons. Sorry for having confused you. Carry on preaching, I won't interrupt again.

Cook up a batch and let us know how it goes. I shot a few last season and put the carcasses out for the birds. Nothing even landed on or near them and I am covered up here in Magpies and Ravens. If they turn their noses up to meat in the dead of a cold prairie winter???
I'm surprised to hear so many guys say that they don't see scavengers chowing down on coyotes. A coyote carcass in the fields here will be quickly eaten down to the bone, and beyond, by eagles, ravens and magpies during the day, and coyotes and other critters at night. During deer season last year, I shot a coyote in the morning one day, left it where it fell, and then shot a second one working over the carcass a few hours later.

So now you're going tell me what my right and wrong is wrong? I'm not entitled to my own ethics? Narrow minded you say because I have heritage and beliefs that reflect a circle of life which is different then your's. This is wrong you say? Sorry I don't kill for fun.
It always amazes me the assumptions people make and the offensive stance they take. Where did I say it was unethical. I said gone is the ethic. Meaning people don't live by that anymore.
NEVER SAID GOOD OR BAD OR RIGHT OR WRONG!!!
Really getting tired of the fudds on here that can't READ.

There were some Chinese restaurants in Edmonton a few years ago that got shutdown for code violations, coyotes were found in the freezer.

The skinned carcasses found in the freezer of an Edmonton restaurant last week were coyotes, wildlife officials have determined.
When public health officials were first called in Nov. 5, they weren't sure if the four canine bodies belonged to dogs, coyotes or wolves. There was public outrage that the animals may have been dogs.
■FROM NOV. 5, 2003: Ready-to-cook canines at Edmonton restaurant
John Leer, spokesman for Alberta Sustainable Resource Development, said a scientist at the department's forensics lab conducted autopsies on the carcasses Monday.
"One of the lab scientists compared different characteristics of canines to come up with that finding," he said.
"He looked at written information of wolves, dogs and coyotes and measured various bones, teeth and the positioning of teeth to determine that they are coyotes," said Leer.
The autopsies did not reveal how the animals were killed. Because they were gutted, investigators couldn't determine the ### of the animals.
Ed Greenburg, an official with Edmonton's Capital Health Region, said the investigation into the Panda Garden restaurant, where the carcasses were found, continues.
Greenburg said the fact that the animals were coyotes doesn't change anything and inspectors are still looking into the possibility that uninspected meat was served at the restaurant.
Under the Wildlife Act, it is illegal to sell meat from any wild species.
There is no law against selling and serving canine meat, including dogs, but it must be killed and gutted in front of federal inspectors.
That bolded part bothers me.

It's very clear, you've said it twice now, we get it...according to you, everyone who shoots something and doesn't eat it does it for "sport" or for "fun".
I'm not a farmer who has to kill coyotes to protect his livestock and I'm not a trapper feeding my family by harvesting fur, but I'll be damned if I sit back and let you lump everyone who doesn't eat what they kill into the category of "sport" hunters or those who just "kill for fun".
I certainly am not in dire need of coyote meat today or tomorrow or any time soon for that matter.
But, if the time came and I had to put meat on the table there are a whole bunch of other game animals I will choose before going down that avenue.
To those that choose to sample it I say good on you, but till the day comes that there is no Safeway, Save -On Foods, Thrifty's or Price Smart I will shoot them dogs and take the hide or SSS right where they drop.
Runningfool, just read your post ...Thanks for sticking up for those who choose not to eat a Coyote or for those that shoot varmints in general for that matter . Some people just dont get it ...judge ye not for less ye be judged
Tight Groups,
Rob

Ya i suppose the post about dog spagetti in the war.....if you were starving. Personally i will eat Coyote just about when i eat Bear, long after all the cloven hooved animals are gone and i have given up.
No kidding.

There's more reasons to kill things than "to eat them" or "for fun."
Other reasons animals need to be killed;
-to protect property
-to protect livestock
-to protect crops
-to protect food sources
If you're a food guy, you may not understand killing to protect your livelihood, but you should understand that sometimes animals need to be killed to protect a food source.
For example, if you like to eat whitetail deer and live in saskatchewan, you should be killing every coyote you can to help preserve some deer for the future. Or if you like to eat moose and live in BC you should be killing every wolf you see to help preserve a few for the future. Two very obvious examples of very low populations that could use some help.

I mostly dump the skinned carcass in the woodlots near where I shoot them but I have eaten it a time or two not that bad and if I was subsistence hunting I would not pass up a healthy coyote
I'm no farmer or trapper and I'll certainly pass on eating canines of any kind. BUT I'll eagerly shoot the over abundant wolves and coyotes in my rural area that are taking a toll on deer, moose and game bird populations.
Cougars are another predator many people don't see as table fare but I've tried it and it was incredibly good pan seared, high heat, and well done. Much like a pork chop but much more flavorfull.
I'd never eat a coyote tho.... Even a healthy one LOL
I'm kinda a eat what I kill or don't hunt it guy as well but on the other hand, I have an open mind and a realistic view on the necessity of predator hunting. These days as I get older (still a young 45) and the fact I live in the BC interior in the sticks, I feel a responsibility to do my share of predator hunting.
There's 2 reasons I chose to get into predator hunting.
1) To thin large packs in my area. This helps the ecosystem as a whole. From local ranchers cattle, to neighbors pets, to rabbits, game birds ect ect.
Several packs of 20 plus wolves or coyotes is no good for moose and deer around here. So I like to think I'm doing the animals that fill my freezer a favour
Number 2 is that less and less people are predator hunting or sustanance hunting or trapping these days and the predators have lost their fear of man. Hunting them reinstills this instinct and it is passed on to the next batch. The bears and cougars around here are well versed in being hunted... The yotes and wolves not so much

Dog is popular in Korea and some parts of the Phillipines.
Anyone who has ever had to skin a thawed out, previously frozen coyote probably will never eat coyote meat. It makes skunk smell good.
Coyotes are skinny, stringy things with zero body fat. They eat garbage and carrion, and sometimes even just pure schit. The only way you could make this meat edble is to cook it in a stew, or curry it. You might be able to stir fry thin strips in a spicy sauce strong enough to cover the smell.
This is not a meat that you would throw on the barby straight up, unless you like the smell of fermenting, rotten turds.

Well the old man when he grew up in outport Newfoundland told me of how they would eat a big gull for thanksgiving or Christmas...they had nothing else.my grandmother raised chickens and I asked why eat a gull when you had so many chickens ,he told me they only ate chicken when one died or had to many roosters ,the chickens were raised for eggs to sell plain and simple ...he told me gull was like turr only much bigger,not that many here would know what that's like ,but it is very good one of my favorites .
And all that being said ,the gulls of the outports 50-60 years ago didn't live off human waste.
I will donate a coyote to anyone if they want to try it....Big pig barn around here so the coyotes are nice and plump eating pig #### and dead piglets for the last 6 months. Should taste just like bacon flavoured coyote!!!
Your crazy if you try eating a coyote, I think I'd rather eat Opossum, Or skunk.
