Official HBC Coyote thread

[todbartell]

for most of us, deer season is closed or about to close, and some of us beat the winter blues by heading out and hunting predators.

If you shoot a coyote this winter and want to share a picture or story, feel free to add to this thread. Any info on guns, bullets, scopes, calls, setups for calling, baiting, etc, can be asked here and maybe we can help out in any ways.

This morning I went out and it was pretty cold. -18 and a 20 km/hr wind with a light snow that made visibility poor. I headed out with a couple buddies and we made two stands with no luck. Yotes are smarter than us and are probably holed up somewhere nice and warm.

In the past few weeks I have taken a couple dogs, here's some pics

[todbartell]

got out this morning and put two on the ground. Shoulda been three but I pooched that one

first one was spot/stalk and 170 yard shot. the next was an hour later, called her in and dumped her @ 120 yards.

[Phoneguy]

Cause I really don't know

What do you do with a Coyote? I can't imagine eating the meat? Is it just for the pelt, predator control, trophy? Not trying to stir the pot (if there is one), what is the point of shooting a coyote?

Thanks
James

[todbartell]

pelt, predator control, and trophy for me, in no particular order. They're more fun to hunt than anything else (in my opinion).

[Phoneguy]

What would you do with the pelt? Get it tanned? Sell it? Make a coat? Hang it on the wall?

[todbartell]

I give my coyotes to a friend who skins them and gives them to a trapper I think. You can do whatever you want with the tanned pelt, I am wearing a coyote thong and fur nipple tassles as I sit here and type this :)

[Phoneguy]

I, I am wearing a coyote thong and fur nipple tassles as I sit here and type this :)

Fur side in or out??:p

[Phoneguy]

So it is really about the thrill of the hunt then?

[todbartell]

for me it is. its hard to explain, but the first time you call in a coyote, you'll know the feeling. It gives a guy something to do during the winter, I dont get cabin fever anymore :lol:

[Orangethunder]

Nice shooting, you ever get any wolves coming in?

[rishu_pepper]

tod, I'm thinking of a budget varmint gun (scoped $500 max), I'm trying to get into coyote hunting, and perhaps the odd gopher shoot in the summer. Any good suggestions? I'm leaning towards .223 because of its availability and value.

I apologize if this is a hi-jack, PM me if you like 8)

[todbartell]

Nice shooting, you ever get any wolves coming in?

not in a couple years


I'm thinking of a budget varmint gun (scoped $500 max)I would suggest a Stevens 200 in 223 with a Bushnell Banner 3-9x40. In a set of Leupold rifleman rings and Weaver bases, it'd be under your $500 limit (before tax). They are accurate rifles and the scope is definitely usable.

That is the point of ALL Hunting in our Modern times........

Congrats Bartel........I'm gonna get out and chase some doggies pretty quick here too.
been practising all summer with my Red desert Howler and the Custom Distress call I won from you know where ! :wink:

Should be a productive winter for all of Us if things get as cold as they are predicting.....read: lots of Hungry Preds:smile:

Wow you read my mind, this is exactly the config I thought about :shock:

I don't really know where to start though, I have had exactly one trip out for coyote, and it wasn't exactly a fruitful one. Coyote hunt seems like such a challenging idea (which is good), I really want to get in on it.

[Wild one]

What are the odds calling a coyote in to bow range ( under 50yrds )

[Will]

I'll let you know this winter...............:lol:;)

Watch some Yote calling Vids.......sometimes they get em right in thier laps:smile:

[brotherjack]

I would suggest a Stevens 200 in 223 with a Bushnell Banner 3-9x40.

I'd say exactly the same thing in all respects, except I'd take the Bushnell Sportsman 3-9x32 instead - it's less expensive, lighter weight, and I can't tell that the optics are any worse than a Banner series (though neither will ever be mistaken for high end glass - both are more than adequate to put a bullet where it needs to go). I also think, having owned scopes from both lines, that the Sportsman series has the better design (no plastic around the turrets).


Just my $0.02 - that and $12.97 will get you coffee at Starbucks. :)

[kishman]

I ran into this little guy while still hunting for Deer in Reg.8, quite a thrill....

I've called quite a few into bow range. Several at 10 yards met their maker.:biggrin:

you need a place to hunt, either private land or public land. In the lower mainland I think there is some shotgun only zones so keep that in mind before you buy a rifle. Get some calls, rabbit distress, fawn distress, howler, mouse squeeker, etc. Get an instructional dvd, Primos makes a good one called Mastering the Art. You'll want to sneak into an area and set up so the wind is in your favor and that any yote that tries to sneak in downwind and catch your scent will be exposed in the open. Be patient and sit still, and be ready. And keep at it, it may take a dozen trips or more before you finally lure one in. It'll be worth it, trust me! :razz:

I have a rabbit distress (3 settings for far-med-close range) call.

A HBC member says he shoots coyotes at his farm in Surrey from time to time (we hunt ducks at his place), so when the time comes I'll try it out with a shotgun first.

What would be a good area to find these critters relatively near the Lower Mainland?

And does anyone eat them or tried to? Being Chinese, I intend to give'er a go.:biggrin:

[todbartell]

good luck, especially with the food part of it..:shock:

[rishu_pepper]

You know, I've eaten dogs back in the old country (China) where it is a norm back in the days, and I've found it palatable. I'd imagine yotes would taste similar?

As for the pelts, do you sell it or keep it? Sell it to who? I've always wondered..

[Dirty]

Perhaps you would like to make some of Randy Anderson's infamous coyote jerky. :shock:

[boonerbuck]

Keep this man away from my dog.....................:mrgreen::mrgreen:

[rishu_pepper]

Don't get me wrong, I have all the respect for dog-owners and I would like to own a dog in the future to help me in waterfowling, but that was the old days and it's supposedly a normal thing to eat. I never lived in the old country (born in Hong Kong, came here at 12). I hear they raised them domestically like cattle specifically for consumption (no fancy breeds).

With yotes, if the hunter doesn't eat it, some animals will. Either way someone's getting a meal out of it, so why not? :-D If I don't like it, at least I can say I've tried it.

[mainland hunter]

I just finished skinning one and cant imagine eating one, i dont even like skinning em

It would be wise to research the diseases that one can be infected with from wild canines. There are several. Know what you are doing without a doubt when preparing.

Mmmm....maybe PHC needs a recipe forum??:-?

:razz:

Undoubtedly there is the risk of diseases, as with any other game animal, and we take the utmost care when preparing game.

With that said, if it's clean, I'll be the first one to try it. Yes, they are scavengers and they eat junk, but there's a couple of species down in the ocean floor that do the same, and we value them highly too (lobsters and crabs anyone? :wink:). If it tastes like what it eats, then I just won't eat it again, but trying it out is the least I can do.

[Barracuda]

I love my dogs but I would have no qualms about eating one. In some places they are just livestock no differnt then chickens etc..
tell us how it tastes

[Big7]

Many a coyote I've shot with their head burried up the back end of a dead cow that's been there for a few weeks...not trying to discourage anyone from trying to eat one, but....in that case, if that's what they're feeding on - you know the ol saying you are what you eat!

[rishu_pepper]

There ya go, that's the way to look at things. I mean, we eat beef all the time, people in India would think we're crazy because cows are sacred there; it's a similar situation, many of us see dogs as "man's best friend" so we don't eat them, but maybe some people who don't have dogs as pets will have no problems eating them.

I remember dog tasted like lamb (or at least a good tasting one should, it's what I've heard from the old-timers). I've eaten my share of weird/exotic food, most recently, in Japan, (raw) whale tongue and heart, fried whale (tastes really good, if you ever visit Japan be sure to try it out!).

[Will]

I know a Local Fella (oriental) more of a Friend of a friend really.

At any rate he doesn't hunt them specifically but if he does get one by chance, usually while deer hunting etc. he skins it and takes it home like any other edible critter ! Even feeds it to the whole family :grin:

FWIW: you will not get anything if consuming Dog meat wild or otherwise...just make sure it's well done as ALL meat should be.

Having skinned my 1st yote last year I can say I won't be trying one for dinner anytime soon...I actually barfed in my mouthhttp://usera.imagecave.com/BCWILL/Smilies/puke.gif

[Kody94]

I've tried eating coyote. I'd have to be aweful friggin hungry to ever try it again. :shock:

Cheers,

[rishu_pepper]

..I actually barfed in my mouthhttp://usera.imagecave.com/BCWILL/Smilies/puke.gif

Not trying to be a smarty-pants, but what made you barf? You didn't eat it right? Do they look ugly or what is it? I figure most of the animals insides/skinned look similar ;)

[brotherjack]

Oh come now, for dogs and bears and such, sure, crisp it on up - but ungulate tastes best when you cook it less! A good elk steak should be off the grill and in my belly before the middle gets more than warm. :)

:)

[Dirty]

Rishu Pepper, How would you cook the coyote? Stew? Sausage? Stir fry?

[boonerbuck]

Not trying to be a smarty-pants, but what made you barf? You didn't eat it right? Do they look ugly or what is it? I figure most of the animals insides/skinned look similar :wink:


For most people skinning a yote takes some getting used to. Looking similar...sure, the smell....absolutely gross and makes deer guts smell like flowers.

After a few yotes have been tossed in the back of my truck I consider burning it. Last year it wasnt to bad because the gore was frozen. Once I went to the lower mainland and it thawed, I was expecting to be pulled over by homicide and have a forensics unit go over my truck for evidence. Even after a good steaming pressure wash the smell is there for months.

I use tote bins now. I have a "4 coyote bun".:-D

[Will]

Believe me I've skinned enough Old stinky rotten Bears that would make most people blow chunks.........even one on a warm spring hunt that got away to be recovered 2 days later..........smell doesn't even decribe that one, my bud and I wore nose plugs, the flies were fierce:|

Coyotes just plain stink........it's really bad, at least the one I did, smelled like it urinated all over itself x10 ! :?

FWIW: even the insides stunk.......I just couldn't imagine eating one, ever ! :confused:

Believe me I enjoy a Nice Med rare steak too:-D...........however the Fact remains that 99.9% of ALL meat born illnesses can be eliminated by thoroughly cooking the meat (e-coli, mad cow, trich etc. etc. etc.):wink:

Mad Cow cannot be killed by thoroughly cooking the meat.
Well you got me....Mad cow would take a much higher temp then normally used for cooking.

Unless one eats the brain, spinal cord and other nervous tissues from said infected beastie you'll probably be safe........

Solid cuts are always safer then Ground up products, sausages, etc. like everything.

Sorry for misleading anyone.........:oops:

PLEASE everyone, don't eat any BSE infected Cow brains because I told you so.......even thoroughly cooked ones:smile:

[BlacktailStalker]

If you dont like yotes, take a whiff of a wolf. They sleep in the whole packs piss and dump and are 3 times as big :)
Putrid to say the least.

Eat Crow ??? ........I do that alot :oops::redface: see above posts:rolleyes:

[Dirty]

Rishu Pepper, you never answered my question. How do you plan on cooking up them coyotes?

[rishu_pepper]

It'll be a Chinese variety, something akin to a stew. We use a similar usually for lamb. I won't be the one cooking it, but an old timer at church used to eat/cook them back in the days, so I'll let him have the honours.

Maybe someone can donate a yote (at least the meat) so I can try it out? All this talk about cooking gets me hungry :tongue:

[Jetboat]

Eating coyotes? You have got to be kidding! The thought of it alone is absolutely nasty. Ever skin one Rishu Pepper? You may as well devour your own excrement :shock:

[Dirty]

Rishu Pepper, you ruined my Chinese stereotype. I was thinking more along Sweet and Sour Coyote, Coyote Broccoli and Black Bean Sauce, Coyote Chowmein, Steamed Coyote Dumpling, Coyote Fried Rice and so on.

[Will]

Steamed Coyote Dumpling
Well I can prepare that one for you..........:wink:

Heh, those are the most stereotyped Chinese food, even we don't eat it often; the above dishes are like saying every Canadian eats poutine :p (I do love poutine).

And I highly doubt it's as bad as eating excrement. Excrement doesn't laugh at me when I miss from 10 yards. :biggrin:

rishu pepper....

If you honestly would like to try coyote - go kill one! You'll be suprised at how challenging and rewarding it can be to hunt the little buggers.

Let us know how it tastes because it is clear that there aren't many people who have shot one, skinned one, smelled one etc. that will every EAT one themselves (myself included!!!)

Oh would I like to be a fly on the wall when......!!

[rishu_pepper]

I'm gonna try, you can be sure of that!

[Jetboat]

I'm gonna try, you can be sure of that!

Try to kill one or try to (puke) eat one?

[Mr. Dean]

Finally, some support :wink:

Seriously though, if that Chinese yote stew comes out nicely, I'll be sure to save a bowl or two for you guys, then whoever's man enough can come on down and grab a bite!

Actually, there's a clubhouse in our townhouse complex which would make for great gatherings, though I don't think the residents will be much too happy to see us cooking up coyotes on the BBQ

[Scobo]

never even crossed my mind but i don't think i could eat a yote...but i have heard of lots of guys that eat cougars and claim it is, in their opinion better then deer (i didn't and don't believe them)...is there a difference between eating a yote and cougar?

[Big7]

And you guys consider yourselves as REAL men. :rolleyes:


I consider myself a "smart" man and I know my limits!

As Kenny Rogers would say..."you gotta know when to hold em (eat), know when to fold em (not eat!)"

But yeah I don't have anything against anyone who doesn't think of eating a yote as a good idea. Personally I just like to try new foods, my dad, my sister, and I are the same, but my mom and my brother would never do such a thing, so it doesn't run completely in the family :cool:

[todbartell]

Personally I just like to try new foods

but coyote meat isnt "food"...might as well eat Will's brown dumpling over that plate of snow

You want to eat coyote, fill your boots but comparing bear meat to coyote meat is just plain..........well........silly.

Personally I would not even consider eating any member of the K9 family, wild, domestic or otherwise, full stop.

And by the way, dogs are NOT livestock in this culture, they are valued companions, trusted lookouts and to some of us, members of our family.

Enjoy your stew. :eek:

I wasn't the one who compared bear with coyote, I've eaten bear once but forgot how it tastes.

Like I said, I have all the respect for dogs and dog owners, thinking of getting one when I have my own family. I've never hated dogs, I think they're great. But the topic is about eating yotes, not dogs. I'm not out here to offend any dog owners, but if inadvertently I have done so, I am sorry. :oops:

Hypothetically, if a culture values deer as a pet/companion (this is just a make-believe situation, I don't know any cultures that does that), how does one think they would react, when they see us hunting deer and eating venison steak/sausage? Just something to think about, putting things in perspective.

[Mr. Dean]

I wasn't comparing bears w/ yotes.... I was comparing remarks made by others that run parallel w/ the 2 critters.

Im in for a bowl puppy of stew!!!!!!! What the hell, ya can't knock it until ya tried it.

Yippy Yahoo!

I've been thinking of getting a 17 HMR has anyone hunted coyotes with this caliber? the .270 leaves to big of an exit wound :lol:
This cal .17 HMR is a coyote crippler. They are designed for smaller game. Coyotes are tough. On 2 seperate occasions I have even dug out .22 bullets out of the skulls of coyote that I had caught in traps and were perfectly health until they got caught. Go to the .17 center fire or my own personal favorite a 22-250.

Drove to edmonton from cranbrook during that last cold snap and saw 20 coyotes:shock:, made me want to move back. Wish I could have been shooting:twisted:

[Archer]

Heading out tomorrow morn to try and get one with my bow. Had a few close encounters (misses) so far, but I'll keep trying and maybe my time will come. Gonna try my fox decoy, and a fawn distress call. I have heard that coyotes hate foxes and will do anything to get at them, so hopefully I'll have one come within 40 yrds. If I score, you guys will hear about it for sure.

[Wildfoot]

im hoping to do some yote hunting this winter. If i bag one I will have to try the meat. I am very interested. Grind up some yote with a little calf moose meat and you can make predator/prey burgers! Maybe some deer meat and yote sausage on a bagel and call it the circle of life.

[Mr. Dean]

... the circle of life.

Now we're talkin!

Someone back there was asking about eating cougar. (The 4 legged kind):lol:

Haven't tryed it myself but have talked to several guys around here that did so at the wild game banquet and thought it wasn't bad. One guy in particular is right in to it and asked that if I or anyone I know gets a cougar give him a call right away and he'll help skinning it if he gets the meat!:o

I don't think I've laughed that hard at a thread in ages! I have to admit I gagged a few times too. It brought back all those old smelly memories from when we used to trap those buggers and skin 'em out. Man, you can feast on 'em if you want.... they're all yours! Like someone else said, "I'd love to be a fly on the wall when...." Please, shoot some video of that first dilectable bite and post it. Absolutely hilarious!:biggrin:

both of my dedicated coyote rifles wear 3-9x40mm scopes. A Leupold VXII on my 243 and a Burris Fullfield II on my 221 Fireball (a coyote virgin)

the first kill for my 221 Fireball. 301 yard frontal shot and he didnt make it more than a couple feet. a nice male with almost zero fur damage from the 40 grain ballistic tip
