disposing of a carcass

Where do you live 5spd? I trapped in several counties in WY. Haven't been there for 4 yrs now.

i remember a couple years ago in albuquerque the news found someones pit with several skinned coyotes and made a major deal out of it
 
Yah, they think it is a tragedy. Had an anti freak out when he found 50+ fox in a pile long time ago.
Cheyenne, I trapped in Carbon co, once, there was a lot of coyote there, 4 yrs ago. I know a guy in Wheatland.

Skins are worth nothing and not worth the trouble IMHO unless its just a big one with perfect fur.

Just leave em lay, problem solved. Sometimes I slit their belly open to get the smell out and attract the birds.

Coyote make lousy coyote bait in my experience. I find that every dang thing in the forest comes to eat the dead coyote but i've never had luck with coyote coming to eat their dead brother.

That's what we do down here. There's absolutley NO market for them here, or even bobcats this year for that matter.

I don't usually have problems getting coyotes to smell bad....They do rather well on their own.

The landowner that allows me to hunt, asks that all carcasses be dumped in a deep ditch he uses to dispose of dead cattle.

This is a prime spot to watch for coyotes since there is an abundant supply of food for them.

Dumping them on a ditch opposed to leaving them in an open field is that when hay cutting time comes, there is no danger of his tractor getting a flat tire from left over bones. Believe me, any farmer hates to deal with flat tires, especially when foul weather is on the way and the hay needs to be rolled before it comes come in.

Gotta keep the landowner happy as possible.
 
I always remove them from the farmers field so they don't get tangeled in a no till drill or a disk come spring. I also don't like leaving dead ones laying where I hunt for the live ones to find with my scent left around. I usually turn em into interstate road kill. Nothing more natural than a coyote dead along the big road.

What a fiasco that was, the news crews first story actually said that they were someones pet dogs, oh the humanity!!!! oh, the county sheriff is going to hang whoever was responsible for the brutality by their toes on a light pole! Pretty stupid people.


After a few emails from some knowledgeable people, the fire of abuse quickly burnt out. But still, horrible publicity for predator hunters in NM.
 
The media here never covered any predator hunting in a negative manner that I know of.

But, they were all over covering the little pet dog that was massacred by a coyote in a suburb of Nashville.

That more than anything helps yote hunters in the long run by ridding humanity of these vile creatures.

I saw the photo of the pet before the killing......Poodle.

What, cats not worth anything, from NM? I know a guy that goes there every year and does real good on prices. I see some western ones averaged 325$ this March. Tony's coyotes looked real good compared to our rubbed ones this late in season.
