Does anyone eat coyote regularly

[rookieforever33]

Never eat anything that can lick its own asshole

Thanks for ruining venison

Never crossed my mind to try it.

I’ve eaten two cougars, one bobcat, and a male coyote. Cougar was delicious, like a 150-pound pheasant. Bobcat was OK. Coyote tasted exactly like they smell. I had a thumbnail size bite and burped up that hideous taste for far longer than I thought possible. Never again.

You couldn't pay me enough to knowingly eat a dog. I have eaten at a lot of Chinese restaurant's though...

Brother? It's just like any other meat that can have a strong scent to it, just gotta know what are the tips and tricks to deal with it when ya got one that's "strong" smelling.

I mean it's kinda along the same line as eating Liver and Onions, for example.

There's lots of things that are made into meals, which, are NOT all that great on their own the way nature hands it to you.. but that can be MADE INTO a tasty thing if you know your way around a kitchen and are familiar with the various tactics people use for addressing this and that flavor issue a certain item presents with.

Long story shorter, with our American culture of loving the snot out of our dogs and loving them just as family... THAT is the only "thing" that is preventing you from doing it. Aside from the knowledge of how to counteract "strong" smelling meats, such as with Buttermilk soaks, etc.

Sorry, but when I got 300 lbs of deer, moose, elk, crab, clams and fish in the freezer, ain't no way I'm eating an f-ing dog. No way no how. Never.

All the time

Lots of trappers and emigrants in the west remarked on how delicious dog was after they found out they'd eaten it and some stated it was as good or better than a fat cow buffler!

@TheGDog , do you have any links for information on preparation methods that help remove the smell and flavor?

I'd be of the same mindset if I had that much other wild game as well! Congratulations!

I haven't gone down that rabbit hole much, yet. But apparently lotta people do soak in Buttermilk when faced with "strong" scented meats, because apparently the buttermilk has enzymes in it that help to breakdown whatever it is that causes the stronger smell.

And of course your typical stuff like use lotta garlic, and/or some spice with heat to overshadow it.

And for both deer and other stuff... if you let water pull out the blood from the meat, change the water a couple times til not so pink, just before cooking it. That does a bit to reduce gamey aroma, at least I've found it did with this one buck that was older and "stronger" in scent.

Only killed a few coyotes, so the sample size is relatively small compared to some. They did not appear to be very appetizing.

I thought there were some.magic tricks I've not heard about yet! I've used the water soak and buttermilk soak before. The buttermilk soak was for some gnarly squirrels and it worked well.

This does not describe my year... . I'm closer to struggling pioneer than sitting flush with choice cuts.
