What do you do with coyotes?

I have my trappers license , i shoot 'em , skin 'em and sell 'em , set the rest out for bear bait. Except for one I shot last year , what an exceptional pelt he had , no mange and was just gorgeous , he is with my rcmp/taxidermist buddy atm , getting turned into a full head mount wall hanging :) Wouldn't do it for most coyotes but this one was an exception to the rule incredible fur this boy had

How much does a cured coyote pelt/fur go for?

But I would like to here more info on :


I work in bee keeping, and I was under the impression that I needed to call the MNR here in ONT to take care of bears that run my hives unless its in season and I have a tag.... knowing that I am justified without tags, and could possibly get $$ from the Muni would be welcome news.... Anyone have a reference point that I could look up in the regs?

ps. Bring Back the Spring Bear Hunt....

Not sure if bees qualify as livestock (in the CO's eyes)?? That said, you have the right to protect your property, but may have to call the MNR prior to shooting it. When he is in the pasture carrying a lamb off, its shoot first, then call...Or not.;)

Has not happened with a bear yet, but has with the coyotes. They'll walk out at noon hour and carrying off a lamb or two...

My neighbour is a taxidermist and I asked about him tanning one up and he said that I could just do it myself. You can order the tanning solution on the internet. Skin it out, scrape off as much flesh and fat as you can and pour the stuff to it.

Not sure about just a hide, but a full body mount is about $750 :(
 
I heard that the coyotes central Ontario and further north are not worth anything because they breed with dogs and their pelts aren't very good, don't know if it true.

Thanks for the info! :)

I wasn't looking to have one mounted, just for a pelt. (A friend and I do quite a bit of fly fishing and were talking about using the fur as a tying material. We were wondering if it would be more economical to buy a pelt, treat it ourselves or just buy swatches in a fly shop. Taking into account the labour involved in treating one ourselves, it still might prove to be the best way.)

Cheers!
 
Speaking as a trapper...our coyote pelts do sell at fur auctions and you can't get much further east than Newfoundland. You can then turn the carcass into the Wildlife Dept. for the $25.00 bounty. They're definitely worth skinning!

ummm they are under same rules as a cop are they not ? i'd tell him to get a warrant and i'll gladly sit here till he can get one , since HE has to appear before a magistrate or j of p or whatever to get one. Make his life as hell as possible . They never bother me , i do work for conservation , and they know better , i'd have them crucified for less than that.

Check your provincial laws.
In Ontario they don't need warrants to search, neither do the enforcement arms of several other ministries.

That being said, if their stuff was packed in the truck, they weren't hunting.
When you're not hunting you don't need to wear orange.

That being said, picking a fight with a power tripping CO is likely a bad idea.

There used to be when I started out hunting in the 80's (I don't recall if it was a local thing or a provincial endeavor, we were in Lanark County). Our crew would use the bounty to pay for the upkeep of our hounds for the year. I've been away from hunting 'yotes for a long while, not sure when the bounty ended, and in fact I was surprised to hear that there were no more bounties on them, as I am looking at getting back into it, albeit without the hounds this time around.
 
the government has went from paying hunters to take care of over populated species to finding ways to charge them more money to do it.....I know a group of guys who run dogs they shot nearly 200 yotes this winter some times up to 60 in one afternoon!...if thats not proof of overpopulation I don't know what is.
