I was surprised when you said he chased it off rather than shooting it. I grok the "I'm not going to eat it" angle, but I'd be hard pressed to not say "looks like I'm getting a coyote rug/ruff to go with my venison."For years I've let coyotes walk during hunting season......my brain has always been "don't shoot what your not going to consume". Well I've come to the light in the last couple days. My son had a coyote come out while he was deer hunting last weekend.....yesterday he was tracking a deer he had just shot and he had to chase a coyote off the downed deer when he found it.....20 minutes from gunshot to coyote chewing on it. f*** these things I'm shooting every one I see from now on.
I use the term "consume" more in the sense of "utilize"......"consumption" doesn't need to be synonymous with "eat". I'm fine with hunting for furr and hyde.I was surprised when you said he chased it off rather than shooting it.

Of course, I'm pretty adventurous, and would totally try eating it once...

I just don't know how to skin one and prepare it so I've always let them walk. At this point after our weekend experience with them I'll just shoot it and hang it from a tree to warn the others.

Coyote smell like wet dog when skinning them. And smell is one of those senses that the memory is very good at. So I suggest you disassociate that task as best you can prior to consumption.Im pretty adventurous.....but not sure I could eat coyote.....
Here's my deer heart fajitas in progress.....just finished eating this for lunch. Best part of the deer besides the tenderloins imo. We always cook the heart and liver after we take one. The second photo is the heart meat after cleaning and trimming.....you'd swear it was flank steak if you didn't know it was heart.View attachment 542469View attachment 542470
Some one with a weak stomach? LOL If you think they stink, You never skinned out a mink.Coyote smell like wet dog when skinning them. And smell is one of those senses that the memory is very good at. So I suggest you disassociate that task as best you can prior to consumption.
