Anyone here ever eat coyote?

[NorCalRifleman]

I know they aren't high on the list of edible game, but then some people will eat just about anything. Does anyone eat coyote or is their a good reason not to, like a risk of disease or something? I'm just curious. I know 99% of coyote hunters do it simply for varmint control and sport.

Good grief, no. Do you know what those desert dogs eat?

I have shot my fair number of them, and have had friends who trapped them. Those who trap normally bait the trap with the foulest smelling stuff, so bad that you check wind direction before opening the bucket.

If you cook it well enough, it should be no problem.

Sorry, I'm a dog lover...and that's just a little close to home...but I'm sure some people do eat 'em. Would think they're rather tough though, being a pradator and all.

I just about yacked when I read that thread title.

I couldn't fathom eating that K-9 unless it was a life or death situation. Even then I'd have to toss a coin.

 

[lawson]

i'd have to be pretty dang hungry, but i will eat to survive if it comes down to it.

i have a buddy who eats them all the time, and has been doing it his whole life. diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

Egad, I'm eating lunch right now and am getting a little queezy just thinking about it.

Where is Mr. Hammie?

===========

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.

I remember reading an article about the Louis & Clark expedition. It stated that the only two things they could not make palateable were fox and coyote. Puked it up no matter how they tried to cook it.

So try cooking some up and write back telling us whether you puked or not.


'Cause I'm not gonna try it!

It doesn't taste like chicken. If starving tolerable. [email protected]

 

[Harley Quinn]

Dog is in many diets

Sad but true, keeps the population down in the cities.

[ezypikns]

Yeah

Bout like owl.

 

[kahr404life]

It taste like chicken but I guess It could have just ate one itself .

 

[Owen]

In general, eating predators is a bad idea, due to rampant parasites that find new hosts by being eaten.

 

[kahr404life]

I guess I'd better cook it well done .

 

[usmccpl]

The only time Ive had to use eat and coyote in the same sentence was telling ppl that one tried to eat me and I have had some chow that would make most of yall puke.

 

[CSA 357]

yall doin it all wrong! you got to catch him in a trap and feed him out, like a possum, if you dont it aint fit to eat!*csa*

 

[BIGJACK]

NO, buzzards either. Cayotes will and do eat anything they can find especially carrion. However, so do bears and a lot of folks eat bear meat.

I ate some bear meat once in a Korean reastaurant in Canada, wasn;t too bad, a little greasy but not too bad. I would not eat a cayote except as a last resort. I think they would be pretty good, like a german shepard, in a starving situation.

 

[f4t9r]

none for me

 

[H&Hhunter]

Well no I don't eat coyote but I have to tell, I was flying a bush plane off the north shore of Alaska one time. I was listening to the local AM radio station in Point Barrow to kill the dead time in cruise.

They were having a public health talk about the dangers of ptomaine poisoning. And that several people had become very ill from ptomaine poisoning recently in the arctic regions.

They also reminded the listeners that you need to remember to cook your polar bear and FOX meat. Because raw fox or polar bear is very dangerous to eat because they carry ptomaine poisoning.

So there are some people who will eat wild dog and do it raw if they have to. I think it was pretty common with several native American tribes and I know that an African Bushmen will eat any darned thing he can catch even Jackals I’m told. I guess I would too if it was survival situation.

I'm pretty certain that I've eaten boiled seasoned dog in Asia one time. Either that or it was monkey. No one would say for sure.

 

[jeepmor]

Keep the hide

Use the carcass to bait more coyotes....repeat as needed.

I don't think I'd eat one unless I did not have a choice. A jackrabbit, maybe, but again, well done would be key to kill all the parasites in wild game. By the time it's well done, it may not taste very good if it ever would.

Coyote Cheese Fondu. Yummy!!!!!!!!

Hammy here.

Started a similar thread, referenced above, and if you read it through, there are at least two individuals on this planet who have tasted coyote. I recommend a cheese fondu sauce, or a mesquite BBQ.

Hammy I am.

 

[ID_shooting]

Not the same, but I did try dog when I was stationed in Korea. Wasn't too bad. Not what I would love to eat, but I could live on it if I had to.

 

[Byron Quick]

I've never had to eat coyote. Never been that hungry. Hope I never am.

Tell you what, if you see me munching on coyote and you're not my friend or relative-watch your six for hunger has overtaken my sanity. I'd keep an eye open if you're friend or family-once again, I'm certain hunger has driven me crazy-how crazy remains to be seen.

"... bear meat once in a Korean restaurant in Canada..." If you did, he was selling it illegally. You ate non-inspected meat that was illegally obtained and illegally sold. Asian restaurants are closed regularly up here for very poor or non-existant sanitation. Drove a truck, long ago, delivering to Asian restaurants. Haven't eaten in one since.
I have a recipe for coyote stew if anyone wants it. I'm still looking for a recipe for monkey. I have a recipe for nearly everything else. Relax. It's just a hobby.
