Cook it as you wish

As you will surely get nautious just from the smell as you prepare it be sure to have plenty of Pepto and other stomach and bowel medicines handy. After consuming retire to the couch with a puke bucket and baby wipes and enjoy...:eek:
 
Here's an idea.

Shoot the Coyotes. Build a blind close by, then shoot and cook the Buzzards when they come to feed. I'll bet they're just dandy too.

Oh, and be sure and open your windows when you try to cook this stuff.
 
Um... I would advise against eating a coyote. I personally find it repulsive to eat anything from the canine genre.

:)
 
Coyote tastes a little like Spotted Owl...
Thoes must have been over cooked. Ive always found them to taste kind of like a cross between a seagull and a bald eagle.

Yeah, I really don't like eating that genre: White Fang and Call of the Wild are just too dry and Old Yeller has a gamey taste. Where the Red Fern Grows is just too mushy to my taste.





On another note, I think you mean GENUS, not genre.
 
Have had nice fat puppy tamales made by a friend's grandmother over at 3rd Mesa of Hopi. Would have to cast my vote for 'otey tamales too, but am pondering the tacos. That might work. Gonna have to find a coyote from a diff. part of the country than here though...buncha scrawny rascals. :D
 
A lot of things sound disgusting inside a warm house with a nice full belly and a pantry full of food.

I'd eat Coyote.
If I weren't starving, I might trap one and feed it very well for a month or so and then eat it.

Mostly it's just a social taboo. There is no spoon (that won't serve coyote).

There are a lot of people who might get squeamish at the idea of eating bull testes, but when castrating in the field they come right off and fry up nice.
Same with Reindeer.

True, there is a social taboo.

However, I have a problem with eating scavenger mammals/birds. It is far beyond a societal taboo. I'm willing to try most things, but I draw the line at scavengers. (Scavenger aquatics are a different matter entirely, and it has to do with how the mammals/birds differ from fish. Also, crab/shrimp/lobster are FAR too tasty to give up)
 
This is great!

Recently I had some doubts about this forum, but I have fully changed my mind. I started this thread in June 06', and after almost 5000 views, and LOTS of comments, I have to say that I am surprised. After seeing these nasty scavengers for so many years here in arizona, I wondered if anyone had been crazy enough to eat one. Well, we had some takers. And I have to say I have great respect for those who have. I hope I never have to eat one, but if it comes down to that, I'm in! For those who did not read my famous Mr. Hammy poem, here is a repost. Enjoy!




Mr. Hammy


I am Hammy, Hammy is me, would you like to try some coyote?
I do not like to eat coyote.

Would you eat it in a box, would you eat it rather than fox?

Not in a box, surely would rather have fox.
I do not like that coyote, I do not like it Mr. Hammy.

Would you like it in fondue, could you eat it in a veggie stew?
I’ve heard BBQ is good, or maybe over mesquite wood?

Not in fondue, not in a stew,
Not BBQ, and not over wood.
I will not eat that coyote,
I’m sure I can’t stand it Mr. Hammy.

You say you don’t like, you tell Hammy,
But taste it taste it, you will see.

Hey this is quite tasty, this coyote
I can really stand it, Mr. Hammy.

So I will eat it in a box,
And I would rather have IT, than fox.
And I will eat it in a cheese fondue,
Over mesquite wood on a BBQ.

Oh how wrong I was, I now can see,
Thank you, thank you Mr. Hammy.
 
Not Yet

"So hammy, did you eat some coyote? How was it? I imagine it being gristly for some reason."


Not yet. Sadly, I haven't shot one since I posted. Been spending too much time on whitetails, quail, and javelina. I will get one this spring though. What do you think about chicken fried backstrap?
 
Not having gone back through this thread, this might be a repeat: Cougar is some of the best eating-meat I've ever had. Never ate dog meat while I was in Korea--SFAIK--but I don't see why Cousin Coyote would be bad...

oldhammy has a point: WHY NOT EAT COYOTES?

Howdy.

You know I'm new to hunting predators myself. When I took my test here in colorado, I was surprised to find that if you get a Cougar license, YOU ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO PREPARE THE MEAT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

Yuuuuck...my stomach turned at first. Eat a KITTY? Now (without getting into dirty jokes) it took me a while to get my mind around the idea that cougars-even tho they are cats-might just be edible. Heck, if the law says they are edible, and if it requires that they be processed, then what the heck?

So...the next conclusion I came to was like what oldhammy thought: then why not eat coyotes?

I googled this question and found this:
"Animals taste like what they eat. Carnivores in general are stronger flavored (and tougher). Even herbivores vary depending on their feed. Predators are also top consumers. All of the environmental contaminants are concentrated in their flesh."

OK, if that is true, then why are mountain lions a delicacy? Shark is an apex predator, and yummy it's good. So I'm not buying that story.

Coyotes DO eat carrion, but don't lions?

The Asians eat them: the Chow-Chow was raised by the chinese for food, and that's how the word "chow" entered our vocabulary. The Innuit eat them, and the humble little Chihuahua was raised to be eaten.

So...why NOT eat coyotes?

I'm up for trying it at any rate. I'll just put my dog in her crate and throw a blanky over the top so she doesn't think she's next.

Hammy, Let us know if you find a good recipe!
 
I'll do it. I'm going out tomorrow, if I get a young one I may make some tacos or something. People eat bears, they eat the same stuff. Besides, I hate shooting animals and leaving them but these coyotes are going to learn one way or another to leave the deer alone. The asians eat 'em, the indians used to eat 'em, I'll do it too! My wife is gonna be so pissed...I brought home a jackrabbit my little bro shot a month or two ago. We were always told not to eat them but we were out of elk and didn't want to waste him. We crocked him and he was excellent, and the best part was he filled up the entire crock pot! My brother and I could not finish him in one sitting! I'll do it again.

Side note: anybody ever try bobcat? Lions are supposed to be good...

I call Shenanigans on that right there!

I can find no such requirement in any of the Colorado Fish & Game regs, as it relates to cougar hunting.

Well, I hate to renig but I got this little male yesterday. He was young but I couldn't cut him up. I skinned him out and he had some meat on his haunches but he stunk and I couldn't cut his hams off. Part of the problem is that I have a freezer full of elk, which I know is delicious. I just couldn't justify it with all the elk I've got. Maybe when I run out of elk, now I'm pretty curious.

Thats like "Last Ditch" food up this way, in the land meat and berrys.
Its an old starvation tale about the Arctic that go's along the lines that if your hungry enough to have to eat a Dog, Fox, Wolf or Wolverine, you will allways be insatably hungry for the rest of your days.
