Has anybody ever heard of anyone, or tried themselves to eat any coyote meat? What do ya suppose it taste like?
 
This has come up many times over the years and usually everyone thinks I'm joking but I have eaten it. It was as close to beef as any wild game I have ever eaten but tough. Lewis and Clark's men really developed a taste for dog while they were living with the Indians on their explorations. Its all just meat and I haven't had anything that I thought was really bad. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
 
Tough and I might add really stringy. I suppose if I was starving I'd try it again, but I'd sure rather have a nice deer any day of the week. Where's the beef?
 
Coyotes eat things even dogs wont. No way would I eat coyote. Dog maybe. Bobcat and Mt Lion definatly. Have had bothof those and they were rather tasty.
 
Yep, messed with a few people I know and made jerky out of one hind quarter from one. I had to eat some if I was going to let people steal it from me to eat. Not bad, flavor was like beef, just a little drier and tougher.

Oh, it didnt go over too well when the guys who ate the whole bag found out what the special ingredient was, but I dont have anyone taking my jerky anymore though.
 
I would eat spring black bear, I guess there should be no reason I wouldn't eat spring Coyote... other than the fact that yotes prolly don't eat many blue berries. I just dont think I could force myself to eat dog though. Not unless I was starving.
 
My take is this ,,"ya are what ya eat",,,and I see coyotes eating a lot of mice, and I don't think I could eat a mouse

Did they circle the bed a few times before they laid down in it? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Do I know someone who did it? Yes I do.

Sorry, too many good things to eat out there than have to eat coyote....Nothing doing here. Odds of getting some desease go way up when you start eating those guys. You may as well eat a turkey buzzard....yuk, you guys can have my share. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
 
No way...no how. I've eaten alot of things in my life, but I don't think I could ever eat something that feeds on carrion. Like Peter said, it'd be the same as eating a turkey buzzard.

I've smelled very few things fouler than a coyote, especially a wet one or after a couple hours in the back of the truck.

I think I'd eat tree roots first.

After living in South Louisiana for 30 years, I have eaten a lot of wild game. The lack of coyotes in that area may be the only reason I never ate one.

The fact that GMM's coworkers gobbled his Coyote Jerky probably says that the only real stumbling block to eating it is the mind, not the taste buds.

Just thinking about it, I don't have a desire to try it, but if I ever shoot or trap a really nice young coyote, well ?.?.?.it could wind up in the pot with a good dark reaux, onions, garlic, bell pepper.

Coyotes are hard to skin and it is difficult to skin one without contaminating the meat with the outside of the animal. And for sure, you don't want to get anything from the inside of the coyote on the meat,as either one could affect the taste. I am not suggesting that anyone try it, I am just saying what I am saying.

The way I see it, a chicken is about as nasty a creature as walks or flys. Store baught chickens near bout' come with a bio hazzard warning on the lable and require that anything touched by the raw meet be disinfected with a bleech solution. Free range chickens will eat anything that want eat them ( that includes each other) and drink nasty water from a horse track when there is clean water right next to it. But, they sure taste better then anything you can buy in the store.

Wild turkey and lots of wild birds have darker meat and heavier taste but fit on my table anytime. Beaver, squirll, deer, elk, nutra, rabbit, bobcat, racoon, armadillo and several others have graced my table and the only two that I don't personally care for are duck and coon meat. I also don't care for rabbit killed with a shotgun.(see paragraph above concerning the outside or inside of the amimal contaminating the meat)

The above list includes both preditor and pray, the key ingredients in prepairing any of them is clean skinning and gutting and good seasoning.

I cooked 2 bobcat straps for the first time this weekend. I must admit it was pretty tasty. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

I'd have to be starving to eat a coyote. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

That reminded me of something. You know how many times I've seen ducks and geese in the city lagoon? And then seen people hunting no more than a half mile away. Gross! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
