I just leave mangy coyotes alone if at all possible. I don't move them if I shoot one. It gets left right where it's at. And they'll stay there for a long time left untouched more often than not. I don't think most things like eating on dead coyotes unless food is pretty scarce.
Back in 2020 I think it was, I shot one and ended up shooting a perfectly healthy one that was eating it the very next day. But also a cottontail or jackrabbit was not a common thing to see at that time either. I barely even saw any skunks that year. I'm pretty sure the coyotes and hawks resorted to eating skunks. It was a really weird year. I killed more coyotes that season than I ever had before.
