What to do with coyotes?

Grandad's coyote jerky
What you will need.
2 large chunks of coyote meat. I find the back hams to have the most easily sliceable meat.
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon unseasoned meat tenderizer
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Mix all together and soak the meat for 24 hours
Smoke in your preferred smoker at 200-225F for 5 hours.

Serve to neighbors, Inlaws, Co workers and anyone else who says things like "you hunt all the time when am I going to get some free meat?"

Is this really a thing? I would have never guessed people eating coyote?
 
I shoot coyotes over a bait pile behund my house . As many as 20 per winter.
In the past some trappers took them. Recently not. Now they all end up in the bush
about 300 yds back in bush were mother nature processes them.

Part truth, part tongue in cheek. Depending where you see it. Seen more than a few Coyote recipes show up in Game Cookbooks, and a fair few references to them being eaten. Same as Norway Rats, Muskrats, Gophers, domestic Dogs, Cats, snakes, songbirds, insects of all sorts from spiders to worms, and a bunch of other various things that most people don't look at as "Food".

Just because "I" don't see fit to eat it, doesn't mean someone doesn't think it beats out the rest!

IIRC, the Chinese have a saying that "All things that turn their backs to the heavens, are food".

Obviously coyote prices are in the dumps but I still enjoy getting after them (especially after seeing how many more there seemed to be this season in Saskatchewan).

Any ideas on what to do with coyotes? I've only ever sold them whole. I don't have tons of time off so when I do I'd rather be out shooting them then skinning but maybe this is the year to learn...

Shoot em and leave em.
 
Pick them up and dump them in a remote spot you don’t hunt. Leaving dead coyotes all over the area you call seems to be a way to educate coyotes to danger, they’ll become harder to hunt in the future.

Technically,in Ontario,we're expected to take the pelt and not allow it to go to waste if it's "viable"....being the keyword. If it's pristine and of value (viable),we can be charged with an offense for willful abandonment. The set fine is $200. However,if the pelt has Mange or is otherwise damaged (all shot to hell) that renders it worthless,we can drag it off out of sight and let Mother Nature deal with it. Carcasses are usually gone within a week.

I was wondering about this. They don’t eat their own?

It might be a issue of what the yote died from.

Personally, no land predator meat is on my diet list unless and until things get a lot tougher.

Most likely. I see dead coyotes in the ditch along the trans Canada highway getting eaten by magpies almost daily.
 
In the wintertime in my area the coyotes will and do eat dead coyotes.We use to take the skinned carcasses and use them as a starting point to run the dogs. Had to be wired just like dead livestock or it was just dragged away!
