Went out this weekend and ended up shooting a nice coyote, went and retrieved the body and brought it back to camp. I dont want it to go to waste so I figured somone on here might know what to do with one, only thing I could think of is sell the hide and use the carcass for bait but im not sure where to look any suggestions would be appreciated

Here is the coyote was a blast to get one on my second outing

Nice one. Great job.

Coyote pelts can be sold when taken under the authority of a small game hunting license the same as a trapper's license.
Some taxidermists might take them off your hands.

When we were teens, we used to take our coyotes and sell them to the Hutterites. Do you have any colonies near you? It's be worth asking around.
 
"Now what?"... go buy yourself a 25-06 and some 85gr NBT's that way there's nothing salvageable and all you have to do is toss them in the bush. Nature will take care of itself.

Unless you are into coyote hunting hard core and have somewhere to sell them to close by it isn't going to be worth your time skinning it and the gas money taking it somewhere to sell it.

Just my .02 and congrats on eradicating another vermin.
 
Gully.

Gravity.

Go Home.

Am I the only one wondering why these thoughts were saved until AFTER the 'yote was shot?
Y'know, since the OP WAS actually out after them, was no thought actually put in to what the end would look like?

Buzzards gotta eat too! It won't be wasted. Even if it just fertilizes trees in the end.
 
Maybe I should have phrased my question differently I was just seeing if there was something other then using it for bait or mounting that i dident know of. I would like to know if there is a drop off location like for deer pelts, and now i know.

To me and the person who owned the property coyotes are a nuisance to their livestock so even if I dont do anything with it i enjoyed my time I spent hunting I pulled the trigger knowing what as much as i needed but any new information that either I or my hunting partner can learn the better off we will be we are always open to new ideas.

Always learning in everything i do in life never hurts

The 6.5 140gr total destroyed the entire shoulder, spine and out the other side from what i could feel, if i skin it i will open it up and take a look. But from what i could feel it was an incredible amount of energy transfer.

Not sure if they are considered fur bearing animals in Ontario so that might limit the gully and gravity idea....
Yup, the food chain does not discriminate when it comes to free food, the buzzards, the rats and mice and coyotes will eat most of it and the bugs will too if it is warm enough.
The farmers will appreciate one less coyote too.
You can de-stank it your words not mine by washing it in wool-lite, but you'll have to skin it first and in the mean time you'll get stinky skinin' it.

Only limitation is if the hide is in good condition. Hence my suggestion for using a caliber and projectile combination that ensures there is nothing salvageable.... for every problem there is always a solution...

Then you knew that what you suggested in your original post of letting a nice one go to waste is actually illegal.

Congrats on getting your first coyote, pretty exciting stuff! But I would have to agree with others that your questions would have probably been better asked before you shoot at anything.

Using the carcass for bait is an interesting proposition - I’ve heard people swear coyotes won’t touch another dead coyote and I’ve heard the opposite as well. I’m guessing like so many things it depends. I skinned one out last year and put its carcass in front of my trail cam in a fence row. I had coyotes and foxes come and check it out but none of them touched it. A pair of red tailed hawks, crows, and a great horned owl had no trouble picking it clean however. Nature truly wastes nothing.

No, that was my first thought too. I was about to dust off my soap box, but looks like it was just phrased poorly.
