You're worried about the pelt? Why? It's pretty much worthless now days. I don't know any buyer around here that even BUYS 'em. No market. Maybe there's a market in colder climbs where the pelts are better, but I can't imagine it'd be worth the gas to get 'em to a buyer, frankly.
Thanks, I'll try the varmint grenade, I may try poking a hole through em with 140gr match king 6.5x55. You can get about $15 for a coyote pelt around here, 5 bucks I think if you let the DEC come get them. I mainly want them for myself and family.
Lopezni, take a look at the latest fur auction stats. They were giving a bit more for coyotes, than the last several years. I tan a lot of mine and then sell them at tourist shops--oftentimes netting $30+. Bet there's not many up your way that are doing that--might be a niche. I've seen some of those upper east coast coyotes that are great looking dogs.
Used to use the various 40's out of fast stepper 22's that worked great.
Yeah a guy I know said he saw a blond coyote, missed it at about 200yrds. I suggested he get a rangefinder because when you are in an environment that is entirely white, it can mess up your depth perception.
I apologize this is off topic; but i'm intrigued: sscoyote, can you give us a break down of this? I brain-tanned a deer once; and i'll never do it again. Way too much time, effort, and nastiness to be worth the result. How do you go about the process, and how do you value your time in the equation? I understand getting the cost of the bullet back, but netting thirty bucks after paying yourself for time spent implies cheap ammo, big pelt prices, and very nice work.
