Hi All

I have a friend who's farm animals are being harassed by coyote's. They have chased calves right in the barnyard next to the house but luckily have not yet cornered and killed as yet. He has asked me to help him and I have checked the reg's to be sure I only need a small game license (no coyote/wolf tag needed in his WMU).

My question is; can anyone recommend what to do with the carcass?

I would prefer the fur be put to some use but I have not found anyone who is interested. I have a local company who accepts animals for pet food but I am unsure they would accept coyote. My only alternative would be to bury the animal on-site.

Any suggestions?

Use the carcass to bait other coyotes then shoot them too. They are scavengers. If hungry they will feed on their own.

Just take it and put it by the edge of a bush or in a fenceline where you know they travel. Don't leave it anywhere near the buildings because the last thing you want is to keep them attracted to that area.

Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. If not then the vultures will come and clean it up anyways.

I've shot a few yotes that were feeding on their buddy I shot the day or two before.

EDIT: hahaha I see someone beat me to the suggestion while I was typing

This time of year when they are well fed the likelihood of it happening is slim to none.

Anytime I've seen it was late winter after there's been a lot of snow and it's been difficult finding food. Once they are hungry enough they will eat anything.
 
Check to see if there is a Trappers Organization in the area. They may be able to put you in contact with somebody who could at least tell you if the fur is even worth the effort.
 
If it is on his property he can give you the right to predetor control and no license is needed and there is no limit on time of year or numbers.
If shooting in the warmer weather , the fur will be worth nothing so just throw it in a bush and it will be devoured quickly.
If winter time sell the whole coyote to a hutterite colony near you.
You can't case and sell your own fur with out a trappers LIC.
 
Taco meat.

Something will eat it, I've left them out and sometimes it's bugs that eat them and sometimes they're gone the next morning without a trace.

Sometimes my dogs brings coyote bones back to chew on. Just the other day one of them had a coyote leg in his mouth.

Sad reality is that furs aren't worth too much at any time of year lol. That's why there aren't too many trappers these days.

That's not entirely true. I run a small trapline and made over $5000 on my coyotes on the second auction. I averaged $120 US for mine. I don't trap for the money though, I enjoy getting out and keeping populations in check.
 
I see you are near Peterborough. Check the regs just to be sure you aren't in the no hunting zone for coyotes and wolves. Our hunt camp falls within this area and we are just outside of Havelock. Seeing s it is a farm they may be exempt from that.Not sure. See if a local butcher has meat/bone scraps they want to part with and set up a spot to drop them where you will be down wind if possible and can sit off a ways to be less detected. If you want some help hunting them let me know. Would love to help.

Does that include predator control? Its different rules out west. - dan
 
I think farmers are allowed to shoot them but not sure if they can have someone come in and do it. All I know is we have never seen as much coyote sign as we did last year with the ban on.

Glad to hear! Western yotes tend to do a lot better than ojr eastern ones though. Have to respectfully question that you 'made' $5K on them though. Was that after expenses? If not, you made considerably less I suspect. Used to trap in ontario and my gross fur sales were around $7500 avg a yr and I was always operating at loss after expenses. Didn't help that the last couple of years I trapped our dollar was pretty much par with US$. Loved it though and hope to be able to get back at it again sometime soon.
