Hauling out a coyote

I carry a bush craft knife and a mallet, lay the blade across the jaw behind the K9 teeth and smack the blade thru the jaw. This breaks the K9 teeth loose for me to extract them. I use the K9 teeth to make a necklace or a bracelet. :cool:

Otherwise, I leave them lay where they fall for buzzard bait. :sneaky: This also seems to serve as a warning to other coyotes. I say that because they seem to leave the area for a couple of months. ☣️☠️🐾

Now with the price so low, I just lop the head off, put it in a Ziploc bag, and pack it out for later boiling.

As much as I dislike tree huggers, they have nothing to do with coyote hide prices. LMAO

I glad your amused. There are certainly lots of factors affecting the value of coyote hides. One of the major recent influences has been animal rights groups pressuring companies like Canada Goose and other manufacturers to stop using fur, such as coyote, to trim their clothing. Is it the only thing? No. Has it had a huge affect on the trim trade? Yes.

au contraire DC, ours do. They fit the all collective genus of tree hugger, mask wearer, rainbow flag flyer, animal rights activist, gun oppositionist, global warming advocate, electric car driving, black lives matter, fur is dead genre, ….. they are extremely vocal, they vote, and they have the yard signs to prove it.
 
I have a braided call lanyard that is removable and doubles as a coyote tote/drag depending on how many you are hauling out. It has 4 loops. I believe it was made by Reese outdoors.

I want the hide for myself. Started doing my own tanning. Next step is to make things out of the hide. I'm one of those weirdos that hates to just kill things. I kill it, I try to use at least some of it. If it's edible, I use all of it. Don't get me wrong, if the hide is in bad shape I will leave it there, knowing I saved a fawn or two, or ten.

Heck, I've even eaten a rattlesnake😁

Homemade cross body drag with two separate paracord hook ups that's small enough to fit in the side pocket of my bino harness. Hand held ones suck for hauling for anything over 50 yards for me especially when I'm hiking out with my RRS tripod and caller. I do not use a backpack.
 
In the past I have made kind of a drag bag from a heavy sil nylon or rip stop nylon, then with a heavier material in one of the leading corners of a rectangle shape or cone, I use shoe gue or similar to glue the heavy material down to reinforce the corner which is where my lanyard goes through to hook to their mouth and it keeps them clean slides well on grass, snow, other terrain and easy to make, just roll it up and put in a pocket or pack.
