weird thought

One of the guys on huntingbc.ca (another forum) tried some yote loin, grilled. He said it was somewhat lacking in flavour and texture. I'd eat it only in an emergency.:)

That being said, I did eat dog with a CHinese friend once. It was excellent, very tender and tasty.:)

My wife and I bought pork chops in a restaurant in Blackie , AB about 9 years ago. We both thought they were tough and awful small and we couldn't figure why they threw the mashed potatoes, gravy and cream corn over the "chops". They didn't taste bad ! Three days later the restaurant was raided and I believe they found 13+ coyote hanging in the cooler. Lived in Black Diamond back then. Any of you Southern Alberta boys remember this. Anyway never got sick and I could do it again...I think Ted Nugent says he eats coyote.

Correct ,there was one in alberta but i thought it happened only a couple years ago.Coyotes found in the freezer. May have been a mama panda's near calgary?or maybe coyotes are the new food fad.:)
 
The way i see it, if you cook anything long enough and keeping it moist, and spice it right, it should taste ok.

Ive made beaver sausage that I trapped and it was actually pretty good. Ive also cooked black bear, boiled and spiced and tasted like beef, and it was only the front leg.

I tried muskrat that I also trapped and it was awfull.
I didnt know where the glands were and they should have been removed. The stew stunk out the whole house but I was determined to find a good use for all those carcasses.
Turned out the coyotes liked them more than I did.

I knew a Vietnamese guy in Toronto who shot and ate fox, he said it was velly velly goot.;)

I would try coyote but only if it was prepared by a master chef with knowledge on the subject.:D
 
Pigs eat meat. So do fish and birds. Bears can taste great, as long as they aren't eating salmon. Cougar meat is good, but trim out any sinew and silver skin (good practice for most wild meat, really)

The last few years at our wildlife banquets (usually about 400 ppl in attendance) the #1 requested meat was bear and cougar. People (mostly non hunters) were stopping me in the street for weeks after to tell me how much they loved it.

Like anything else, what the animal has been eating and how the meat is cared for play a big part in how the meat tastes.
 
With full intention to eat the whole thing, I roasted up the backstraps and hams of the first coyote I ever shot...but it was so nasty I was unable to choke back more than a couple bites.

Cheers,

Then i must ask , i constantly hear about people shooting these things , If you dont eat them or use them in another way , what right do you have to be shooting them in the first place.

Several years of hard hunting and hard work Putting up their fur pretty much paid for construction of my garage/shop and at least one year of my wife's university education.
 
My recipe for coyote soup.
skin and clean the coyote and put the meat it a pot of water and bring to a rolling boil. Add the vegetables that you like and boil till tender. take the meat, vegetables and broth and discard, then eat the pot!!

its called hunting. Some do it for the fur. Some do it to protect their livestock. Some do it because they have small children and there is too many coyotes around. Some do it just for the hunt. Regardless of what ever the reason, nothing will go to waste and there will always be coyotes.

People have a right to protect their own and their livestock. They also have a right to hunt. I would rather that the fur was always used but the anti-fur zealots have put a damper on that and fur is only prime (fit for the fur trade) in late fall and winter months. The other little animals enjoy coyote.
 
I'm a rabbit hunter that uses hounds. The coyotes are over populated and are destorying the rabbit numbers. It is almost impossible to run my hounds without them finding one. I've also found 7 fawns and 2 small does pulled down by coyotes on just my 110 acre farm. There's only 11 acres of bush on it. They've wiped out the decent flock of wild turkeys on my land. What's next? My dog my neighbours dog his lil daughter? Man is the natural predator of coyotes here and I have a right and a want to hunt them. I call them in and hunt them in a sporting way. If my goal was to just wipe them out I'd put my hounds on them and take them out when they crossed a field. The living coyotes will eat the dead ones as well do how can you say they are truely wasted. Mother nature is a cruel cold hearted nasty #####. That's the way it is. Fore something to live something must die

+1 on this.

I also use the coyotes I kill. My wife now has a nice coyote coat, and the carcasses are great bait for luring more coyotes.

Deffinatlly is in the prep work and butchering that makes a huge difference even in venison. Location also makes a huge difference. I shot a yearling doe a few years back that I assume lived in the area I shot her, her whole life. It was a cedar swamp with very little hard woods and no agricultural crops close by. That deer was the most bitter tasting meet I have ever had and even the summer sausage tasted like crap!!!!
