Damn it people....if I was hungry enough i would roast up the lot of you and eat you too!
The other white meat, hope it tastes like chicken
We taste like pork. Some US states had to make laws against selling "long hog" in place of pork.

It's quite hilarious how some people think that eating a cow, pig, or chicken is totally acceptable, yet they think eating horse, seal, or dog is completely wrong and should be against the law. Aside from religious reasons, how on earth can people justify eating one animal and while they wouldn't consider eating another? They'll have no issue with millions of chickens or cows being killed annually, yet it's the end of their world if they learn someone has killed a dog to eat it.
"Coyote? I'd never try that in a million years!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's a coyote!"
"And?"
"Well, uhhhh, it's a coyote and I'd never eat that!"
"Why not?"
"Because it's a coyote!"
IMO if you have no problem eating one animal you should have no problem eating (at least trying) any animal as they're all the same...

And just where does your "they" stop?
As a kid our old man (Newfie) was the type to try anything, seal flippers, muskrat , beaver, coon, hard tack biscuits parsnips and any other thing that he thought should be table fare. Would I eat it regular, not a chance. Did it kill me, nope but I sure thought I would when it passed my lips. The box of seal flippers every spring was not a looked forward to delivery but he loved them.
Less naive than you think. Was I involved directly with the investigation? Nope. But that is what the Health Inspector had to say about it at the time. What the inspector said, did not get reported the same way he said it, when it hit the media.
Truth be told, I would have eaten there anyway out of the principle of the thing, given the railroad job that was done on them.
Yeah, I know what beef prices are like right now. Figure the odds that the game meat in the cooler there was poached? I say that because I have also seen what the game farmers are charging out. They weren't paying THOSE rates!
Stupid thing is, the 'offense' committed, is the exact same one, having uninspected meat in the cooler. But most folks think Elk or Moose is an upgrade, rather than something to revile, so it does not make the news so much.

It wasn't poached per se, but they also nailed the guys selling the meat to the restaurant, so the offense committed is a lot more than having uninspected meat. There is and always will be a market for venison. I don't think there's much of one for coyote, hence the reason they probably couldn't stick a "purchasing wild meat" charge.
You can buy walleye filets from a fish market. You can't buy them from a fisherman, same deal. If market hunting were allowed, we'd be rid of all game animals in short order, as not every hunter has bag limits and seasons. In some European countries, hunters can sell their game meat, but it's a very regulated affair. Here it can't be regulated, so it's thankfully illegal.
THE LAW disagrees with you. In Manitoba you cannot just go shoot a coyote. There is a big difference between saying i'm going out to find some coyotes and there is a coyote going after my chickens. I'm surprised so many people here do not know this.

Maybe you're onto something. I'm going to skip the ruffed grouse, duck and goose hunting this fall and try ravens and turkey vultures for a change. Should taste the same.

Okay, so i'm going to actually post something that relates to the original post.
I've eaten most things that anyone kills, either as a kid with a pellet gun or as an adult trapping or hunting; from squirrels and sparrows up through coyotes, lynx and cougar. And of course your standard fare like venison and moose.
In regards to coyote specifically, the meat is pretty pale most of the time, very lean, moderately tough, and pretty bland. Almost exactly like lynx; which of course most hunters probably never ate eaither. I guess it makes sense since they eat much of the same food.
We prepared coyote in a slow cooker, cubed with veggies and well spiced, and cooked it overnight. Coyote stew. Unless you were someone with a mental hangup about eating predators you couldn't have faulted the food, as the meat (when slow cooked for hours) was falling apart, and again, the meat itself is quite bland and innofensive.
Lynx was done up the same way and I could never tell the difference.
If people want to talk about eating nasty meat, my personal un-favorite is ripe beaver, which apparently gets eaten more than coyote. That crap tastes like a particularly nasty unwashed armpit, and all the spice and gravy in the world can't save it, if you ask me.
I'd eat coyote all day long before a plate of beaver again...

Awesome post, I appreciate the info and sincerity. Haven't dropped any coyotes yet, but if I do I'll definitely keep this in mind and report back for any interested parties.

When you say "ripe" beaver, do you mean one that's been dead a few days, sitting under the sun and full of maggots or something freshly harvested?
For Coyote, can't say I've ever tried it, but I'd imagine tenterizing the meat, coat it with an eggwash and panko crumbs then deep fry that bad boy.
I've eaten horse sashimi (more than a few times) with a little soy sauce and wasabe...that's probably the weirdest thing I've ever eaten.
Basashi is delicious! I always eat my share when it is offered to me in Kumamoto.
