I've read a lot of posts and different forums on here but, I haven't stumbled across what to do with the carcass once you have skinned/tailed it. Do you leave it lay for the buzzards, do you hang it on a post as a warning sign for other yotes(roman style), or do you black bag it and put it out at the curb?(i'm leaning towards the bag)

I like to take some carrots onions and garlic, wrap them in foil with the coyote, roast for 4 hours on hot coals, then you carefully cut open the foil, empty the vegetables and coyote into the trash and eat the foil.

Bon appetite...!

LOL!!!
 
Don't put it on the curb. You'll have the animal lovers banging on your door and the cops too. The trash guys will assume it's a dog you got sick of.
 
Take them right back out to where you hunt and use them for bait. Coyotes might or might not eat their own, but they sure do investigate the smell.
 
I read some things from the state of Missouri(only info I could find)that said that use of a sanitary landfill was okay but, not their first choice. I can't find anything from Indiana(dnr site is horrible to navigate) on proper disposal.
 
Living in SE Indiana, it shouldn't be too hard to find a deep woods to drag them and dispose them. I agree with TA, that you want to dispose out of public site and have permission. The extra effort of finding a far out place to dispose carcasses will make or break you as a professional coyote hunter in your community. I have the issue of disposing hundreds of carcasses each year. Not a single person in my town knows where it is...and that's how it should be.

Before you hang one on a fence think about that farmer or rancher repairing the fence. I know if I caught someone hanging a coyote on my fence he would never hunt there again!
 
Some places it's against the law to put one on the curb for trash collector. Dead animals have to be put in a "dead animal pit" and buried at the public land fill. They are not allowed in the regular pit.
 
Blackhawk43, I was just kidding about that.

Thanks for all the input. The problem with finding deep woods to dump them in is there isn't any really. It's mostly open bean and corn fields. I need to call the local dump and see what thier policy is.
 
I drop them on farms that I trap on. You also can have a barrel, if you kill more than a few, from a rendering company. They take all animals, except mink and maybe skunk. I have seen eagles at 20 ft on a pile I made in WY, that was cool watching an adult bald eagle take off knocking 10" of snow off the sage brush as it gained altitude, on the snow covered sage covered land. Crows, magpies, hawks all eat on them.
 
If you have a garden area, dig holes cut up dog & burry it, great for compose & worms. I do that to the ones I bring home. My garden last year was very nice, had lots of flowers growing due to that.
 
I bet it would help that yellow clay. I put some of that stuff into my compost pile, it was forgotten in my trailer until May! Oppps! A bobcat rear quarter and a coyote. Compost smelled different that summer. They compost the dead hogs on some of these big hog factory-farms.
Where do you live 5spd? I trapped in several counties in WY. Haven't been there for 4 yrs now.
 
stuff it with candy and use it at a birthday party as a pinata. here in NY if its in a black bag noones gonna look inside of it or question it.lol
 
Technically, I think here in Indiana you are supposed to bury them. I don't really know anyone that does that. As others suggested I would find the furthest, most out of the way spot and dump them.
