Eating coyote: crazy idea?

OK, so the goal is to wrestle down some coyote's, muzzle 'em, put a leash on them and take 'em home as a family pet for a few weeks, feeding high quality rice/meat in a pen. Then kill and eat. Sounds like a plan to me. :p

Eating coyote: crazy idea?

Heh, yeah, I think if I threw basically any furry animal on the grill, hair and all, I probably wouldn't super much like the taste...

Care to elaborate on why? Just feel that they are too gross?

Eating coyote: crazy idea?

I'm always amused by people who say 'coyotes are so disgusting, they smell so bad, eat all sorts of things... eww'. I often catch them then later saying 'mmm, I do love me some bacon.' I haven't eaten coyote. But I have eaten pig. And from my reckoning, coyotes are no more disgusting than pigs...

vacumn sealers!

Vacmaster VP112 chamber sealer is what I've got. Got tired of my foodsaver failing on me.

Whats everyone's pack weighing loaded?

I'm at 18.6 without weapon, food, or water. Everything else in the pack for a hunt is on the list. But, where I hunt it hardly ever rains and rarely drops below freezing, so that helps.

Meat care in the desert:

Thanks for the advice/stories... that really helps to know that your meat turned out fine both times. Unfortunately where I hunt there are exactly zero trees and the bushes are little more than knee high. The deer migrate down from the chapparal into the desert once they've had a little pressure...

Meat care in the desert:

Thanks for the advice. That makes sense... get meat off as quickly as possible. 4 hours is on the high end, I think, but there's always a risk of getting hung up or things taking longer than anticipated. It's also about 1000' of elevation gain from likely kill spot back to vehicle. So it's 2-3...

Why the obsession with over-tuning and over thinking bows on this site?

No.

Meat care in the desert:

I posed the above question in the Elk sub-forum under a different topic, but it is most appropriate here, I think. Any thoughts?
