Truthfully, I haven't the slightest on the how to or cost on tanning pelts for use. I know there are some trappers and such on here, they'd be better served to speak on that. If I don't toss one in the ditch it would be for having a full body mount done. Be interesting to find out what pelts go for, not sure if it varies by area or what determines it.
Here then are some tried-and-true coyote recipes. Crock Pot Coyote Four pounds of coyote meat. 16 ounces of apricot preserves. One bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. One half of a red onion, diced. Half teaspoon of salt. Half teaspoon of pepper. Half teaspoon of garlic powder. Put all into a crock pot, let it cook for eight hours, and it's ready to serve. Stewed Coyote Four pounds of coyote meat cut into one inch cubes. 11/2 cups of vinegar. A tablespoon of pepper. Two tablespoons of salt. Tablespoon of garlic powder. Half cup of cooking oil. Two large yellow onions, diced. Three cups of tomato sauce. Ten cups of boiling water. Two red bell peppers cut into strips. Two bay leaves. One teaspoon of Tabasco sauce. One can of pineapple chunks. Marinate the meat in a mixture of the recipe's vinegar, pepper, salt and garlic powder for two hours. Fry the meat in the oil, using a large wok, or a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, pineapple and sauté until tender. Once tender, pour into a pot, adding the tomato sauce and boiling water, add your bell pepper, bay leaves and Tabasco. Cover and simmer until meat is tender. (My dear friend Phil Schweik says you can substitute lamb for the coyote, because the taste is similar, but why would you he asks, since coyote is a heckuva lot cheaper than lamb!).
So all this stuff about being carrion eaters and carrying parasites is fine as long as you cook it thoroughly? I know that most people compare it to eating dogs, but, I dont see it that way. Then again, ive never tried it!
I dont have a problem with the dog part. Just doubt Ill butcher one if I ever shot one. But like I said, if someone does the work and cooks it up, Ill try it out for sure.
Tanning is easy. Yotes are one of the easiest hides to tan and look great around the house or cabin. Plus you can tan a hide for less than 10 bucks. Pelt prices vary depending on the year, quality of the hide, etc
After smelling the yote I killed last year, no way would I eat it. I skinned a couple out a few years ago and it was everything I could do to keep from losing my lunch. I had the smell of dog **** in my nose for days...
Coyotes are dogs... right? "Dog is a fine meal" Mel Gibson aka Benjamin Martin aka Francis Marion in "The Patriot."
SSSSUUUUURRREEEE. Somebody was testing out the waters LOL. If youve ever smelled a coyote, you wouldnt eat one.
I had the same question as to what you would do with a coyote after you kill it. What do you do with it and is there some type of trophy you take from them? The tail?
Hides go anywhere from $30-$60 depending on the color. Ive seen some pretty cool mounts, either full body or just head as well. Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk 2
We go Coyote hunting in ND every year. We just take the whole yote to a local fur trader and drop it off. Last year we got about $35-$45 per yote. I have never once even let the thought cross my mind to eat one. No thanks!
