Coyote hunters, what do you do with the coyotes?

I've seen at least 3 coyotes on the 80 acres I deer hunt. I'm sure there are more. I want to get rid of them, or at least some of them. However, I have no clue what to do with a dead coyote. I don't really care to have a coyote mount in my house, so what do I do after killing them?

 

If there scroungy i let them lay , if it has a nice coat on it i'll skin it out and cure it .

 

I love my coyote mount!



The second I shot hangs as a pelt next to my fireplace. . . you have to look close, just to the right of the stonework on the vertical log..



The third had mange.... left it lay..

 

You can try to find someone that wants them for their pelts. I am pretty sure they won't want them with the huge holes your arrows put in them. Someone may slam me for this but I leave them lay, or if they are in a field drag them into the woods. There is a a lot of other critters that gota eat!

I would ask the land owner what his/her preference is if your hunting private land.

Mine get pelted out when I switch to the .204 / 22-.250 come late Jan. I have a guy local that takes them off me. Best part is I don't have to do anything with them other then get them in the truck! Nasty dogs...

 

I leave them for the birds and also the other yotes will not come around when he's dead.

Hang them on the fence line keeps other ones out.

 

Man! I so want your house.

 

That's absolutely BEAUTIFUL, isn't it? Looks like a Cabelas showroom floor!

 

Anyone know if keeping a dead coyote around will bother the deer? Didn't know a dead coyote would keep other coyotes away.

 

Rob- Nice freakin house man. Your living room looks like a pic out of a magazine.

 

we always dragged them away from our stands and let them route. but, as I get older I realize that I wouldn't mind have a pelt. so if I get the shoot I'll take it now

 

What a beautiful mount. I have never seen a coyote shoulder mount. I think I may do this myself if i shoot one this year. If you dont mind me asking, roughly what did it cost to have a coyote shoulder mounted like that?

 

I skin them out for the pelt. I have two in the freezer I just haven't gotten around to curing yet.

 

I will not even waste an arrow on one. I will plug one and leave it for the birds with gun! I guess I can always put one of my old alumi arrows in my quiver for a yote!

 

X2 Really nice!

 

I think I'd like one pelt on my wall but after that I'd leave them lay. They are a natural predator of just about every game species with an out of control population and need to be killed. I gut shot one once along time ago and since then have been busted trying to draw on two more. Those things are much more weary than a whitetail, at least in my experience, I move my hand about one inch really slow and they stop trotting stare at me and take off running.

 

Always have an arrow available for yotes or other incidentals. LOL :D

Thanks for the comments on my Log home..

 

I turn one target into 4. Shoot one and when the others come out to see what the deal is, I shoot them.


Seriously, I've always left them laying. But, seeing some of the mounts or hides tanned, might not be a bad idea. My little 223 isn't gonna leave too big of a hole.
