I was wondering if you hunt coyotes do you have to save the pelts?I know on a farm if you have to shoot one bothering your livestock it mainly gets buried some where.Whats the word on just going on a coyote hunt have to save and sell or leave in bush?Not really much said about the in any regs that I recall

Not in Alberta on private land. And yes, it is in the regs.

Should not be hard to find a trapper to give them to. Here most will take them off your hands. Not my pic but one on the nova scotia hunting site yesterday. 90 in the pile and he says 15 more to skin. Kudos to this guy who ever he is.

In Ontario you must recover the pelts

What if you accidentally ruin the pelt by blowing huge holes in it? Or if you suck at case skinning and ruin it that way? I thought you could ditch it then (in ONT).

in ontario, you have to keep it, even if you blow huge holes in it...... only exception would be if it had mange

You have to keep the pelts in Bantario??
Why do you have to keep pelts you do not need a special license to hunt them? Besides I always loose the blood trail in the swamp they run into.

I will post this again as everyone from Ontario seems to think this thread is about them. In Alberta(where the OP is from) YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP THE HIDES FROM COYOTES on private land, and yes, it says so in the regulations. As per what the OP was asking about.

From the 2010 hunting regulations:

* It is not legally necessary to salvage pelts of furbearing animals (includes coyote and wolf) taken in accordance with regulations authorizing control of problem wildlife.

OP's question is answered.
