No idea, sorry. You might have more luck in the Hunting forum.

A recent THR .223 thread taken over by coyote calling stories. Scroll down a ways and I tell a couple of my cool stories.

A new one. My cousin and I went New Years Day. First call of the day, about 3-4 minutes into the call a mangy looking coyote comes strolling up to my cousin as he sits about 10 yards from the call with the shotgun. I am about 60 yards back with the FAB-10 .223. I just get the scope on the coyote when he takes him with one shot. We settle back down and wait. I see an animal about 100 yards right. I am pretty sure it is a bobcat by the way it walks out of the trees and sure enough, it is. I get him centered up and could easily take him, but I have no use for a bobcat. He looks the call's way for about 30 seconds and then moves on. About 3 minutes after this, another coyote come running right up to the call and my cousin shoots him about 5 yards from the already dead coyote. Not bad for the first call of the morning and considering this was my first ever successful call with out my father being present to pick the location and set up. I think I actually learned from watching him from the last decade or so.

Later on that day we were doing a call and about 2 minutes into the call, a deer and her fawn pop out right in front of the call. They ended up getting between my cousin and his shotgun and the call (distance less than 10 yards. It was neat to watch all of this occuring about 50 yards up the hill. I kept expecting a coyote to come running up and have my cousing shoot it with the 12 gauge while the deer were right there. Well the deer kept checking the call out and eventually they moved on the opposite way they came in and down wind. I don't think they ever really smelled us, but went over the ridge and saw the truck. They were one hill away when we stopped and walked back and I think the doe was really puzzled to see these two camoflaged men come walking out of where she just was with her fawn.

So, stupid question #209374 here, but what do you do with a coyote after you kill it? I've heard that the pelts can be of use, is there anything else? Where do you leave the carcass? How do you field-dress it for the pelt?

jamz, most folks shoot coyotes just to reduce the number of predators. About all I've ever done is cut off the tail, skin out the tailbone and put some salt on the strip of hide. Nail it to a porch post.

SFAIK, hide prices aren't high enough for it to be worth bothering to skin the critter.

Movin this over to Art's forum.

Art, thanks for the info. That's what I thought. I might try this out at my Mom's place- she has a few acres and a few coyotes that she wouldn't mind dead.

Rabbit distress call seems to work great here in Az.

Coyotes are varmints and treated as such: left for other varmints to chew on. The hides aren't worth much. I tend to leave them where they lie, drag them near the road so the rancher whose land I am on knows I wasn't out just screwing around, or throw them in the back of the truck, show them to the rancher in person so he knows I am doing him a favor and not out just screwing around and then dump them off in a ditch later.

I've had good luck using a javelina call. Kind of makes a crying baby sound.
