Coyote hunters, what do you do with the coyotes?

After deer season I'm going to try some calling on a full moon with some snow on the ground. We have lots around our area. Every night getting out of the stand I hear them in every direction. I think the mounts look pretty cool. I've always let them lay.

 

Thanks man, it was 300$, which is a pretty good deal. The next one I get I'm going to do the same and have them on both sides of my buck, with about 75 sheds surrounding them

 

Their head goes on a stick and gets paraded around and then left as a warning to their relatives.

 

If the hides clean I have them turned into pelts.

Over the years I've killed 8 or 9 yotes from Illinois.. only 3 have been made into pelts.. the rest were ugly lookin'.

 

A big reason I don't want a mount, other than the cost, is that my 6 year old daughter gets super freaked out just seeing the coyote mounts in Gander Mountain (thankfully, she's fine with the deer and wants more deer on the wall). I don't want her freaked out in the house, so I won't be getting any yotes mounted. Didn't realize it's fairly standard to just leave them lay. Wasn't sure if people sold the pelts or what. Thanks for all the responses.

 

I got this beautiful 'yote a couple years back.





It was pretty much all scabs with a bit of hair. I was really tempted to take it to a taxidermist. (just to see what they'd say)

I did save and boil his head tho'. :D

 

That thing is the definition of rabies/mange.
