Pretty much what I was thinking :lol:

I personally don't think coyotes stink that bad on average....fox stink far worse IMO. Depends what they have been eating. I have killed some yotes by finding a rotting deer carcass they were feeding on and setting up over it. Now those yotes stunk :lol:

As far as eating yotes...maybe if I get hard up enough. I have sort of decided internally its enough just to take the pelt and return the remains to mother nature who will put it to good use...


big bucks still too...I mean I can't clean a stinky rutting buck and then turn around and eat it...all I taste is that lingering buck pee. My father in law said when he went through basic for Vietnam, they said you can eat any fur-bearing animal....they didn't say how it would taste though lol

I prefer bobcat backstrap to yote. Just a milder taste and almost like a tougher pork.

Butchering about anything, the smell seems to stick with me and the next thing I eat seems to smell like that. Sucks when I just cleaned a gut shot deer!


Maybe if CWD wipes out the deer around here, 30 years from now I will be teaching my grandkids how to hunt down a coyote and then cut some steaks because there won't be any bigger game available. Or maybe not. :D

yeah it does suck.....if I ever eat fresh tenderloin it's after I've cooler aged my meat and the smell is long gone off my hands....I'm the same with fish too...I can't fillet a fish and then eat it right away.....on the CWD, if that ever happens, that may be when I turn vegetarian lol.

For your information your not supposed to gut shoot a deer. Aim for a spot closer to the head, right behind the shoulder.

I supposed to many are conditioned to store bought meat, watch out for those E coli recalls.

:D Al

Oh eating other foods is not a problem....just the animal I'm dressing....and I COULD eat it, it's just that it won't be enjoyable as my nasal cavity is filled with the deer smell.

I don't know Al...maybe you actually are missing out on the secret to success with that precise point of aim of yours. Look at all the big shot TV bowhunters who seem to intentionally shoot deer too far back. Maybe that's why they kill giant bucks and most of us don't :lol:

I grew up butchering livestock and eating wild game, always have. But I'm still not interested in eating yotes until there's not enough grass eating critters to eat gut shot or not. :lol:

I don't watch those hunting shows. Never cared to see some one hunting animals raised in fenced in property to hunt.

I want to give an honest opinion of coyote meat. I thought that it was better than some meats that I’ve had and worse than others that I’ve had. It was more tender than I expected, and had a flavor unlike any other meat that I’ve had. All in all I’d eat it again. No kidding
