    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...

    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...

    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?

    Wilderness Meat Care Thread

    This is a question that I haven't really been able to find a good answer to, if there is one. I hunt the desert where temps can be in the high 90s - low 100s easily. I backpack 2-3 miles in, which means about a 1.5-2 hour pack out if loaded with meat. Assuming I can debone my mule deer fully in...

    Early archery deer. What is the longest duration you had meat in pack?

    Anyone else have any experience/tips on this? I'm concerned about the same thing. I hunt the desert, though, so I don't have any trees to hang the meat from, and not much shade to go around. Will still see temps in high 90s to 100s. Any ideas?

    Concerns of taking Tylenol PM while hunting in the high country

    Diphenhydramine (benadryl). I don't need anything when in the backcountry (sleep like a rock) but on flights that I need to sleep, this does the job very nicely. No hangover.
