So I have a few questions that is targeted mostly to you predator hunters. What do you do with the carcass of the Yot, wolf, etc of the animal you don't plan to eat. Would you, could you eat a yot or wolf? not sure if im brave enough to do so. Do you compost it, send it to the landfill, cremate it? The other question is do you tan your own hides? if so, could you fire me a few good references on how to tan a hide for use in making gloves or other clothing. There was an incident were someone I know had to kill a wolf because it was going after his livestock, unfortunately he did nothing with the carcass which seems like a wast to me.

Depends on which Province you live in.
Some treat a yote as a game animal such as the Province of Alberta.
Here in BC, they are treated as a varmint and therefore shoot them on site as long as you have a general hunting lic. and the area you are shooting is an open area and in season as well.
Me, I would leave them where they fall...not interested in the debate or morals of shooting and leaving a varmint.
Thats just me though, soon to be flamed for my comments.
If the lead aint flying the coyote aint dieing !

In Ontario, the regulations state if its acceptable, to not be wasted.
The exact wording:
Based on that wording, and the fact that most coyotes and some fox in my area have mange, that 'left where it fell' would be acceptable, as
1) Coyote meat is hardly a suitable food, even without mange, although I have no first hand experience in eating 'yotes, I know a few dudes who did it on a dare, and it wasn't pleasant.
2) Again, with mange, the fur becomes spotty, and would therefore wouldn't make a decent piece of toilet paper.
EDIT: Correct if wrong.

Nope. Hunt coyote in the late winter, skin and tan the hides. Carcasses go into garbage bags and are frozen and used in bear bait barrels come Spring.

Recycle it.
For ONTARIO....
The hunting summary the MNR provides to the public does not reflect the requirement of the ACT...and so here for your perusal are some of the sections.
This is from the ACT.
“furbearing mammal” means a member of a species set out in Schedule 1 or prescribed by the regulations as a species of furbearing mammal; (“mammifère à fourrure”)
Abandonment of meat
36. (1) A hunter or trapper who kills game wildlife other than a furbearing mammal shall not abandon it if its flesh may become unsuitable for human consumption. 2009, c. 33, Sched. 22, s. 2 (18).
Abandonment or spoilage of pelts
36. (3) A hunter or trapper who kills a furbearing mammal shall not abandon the pelt or permit the pelt to be spoiled or destroyed. 1997, c. 41, s. 36 (3).
Schedule 1
FURBEARING MAMMALS
Common Name
Badger, American; Beaver; Bobcat; Coyote; Fisher; Fox, Arctic; Fox, Grey; Fox, Red (all colour phases); Lynx; Marten; Mink; Muskrat; Opossum; Otter; Raccoon; Skunk, Striped; Squirrel, Red; Weasel, Least; Weasel, Long-tailed; Weasel, Short-tailed (Ermine); Wolf
This is from the Regulation 665 for ONT
134. A hunter who is licensed or authorized to kill a furbearing mammal is exempt from subsection 36 (3) of the Act and may abandon a pelt or permit a pelt to be spoiled or destroyed if the pelt is of no commercial value. O. Reg. 665/98, s. 134.
To me this means:
A) I dont have to eat the meat of any animal listed in Sch 1 and can permit it to spoil
B) I can abandon the pelt of any animal in Sch 1 it is has no commercial value.
Perfectly clear.

That's fabulous! but not what I was getting at. Just wondering what people did with the carcass. By the sounds of it most use it as bait or crow feed. Fair enough, Thanks for the info guys! Not gonna feel as bad about leaving it out.
Anyone have any links or information regarding tanning your own pelt? Brain tanning still a Viable method for quality garment fur?

I'd try it.
Last coyote I ate was stewed. Lean, fairly tough and very bland. Definitely fit for human consumption however. Very similar to lynx.
