You can do one of two things.

After you send one to your local taxidermist you can sell them to your local fur buyer or tan them yourself.

As with any natural resource....don't let it go to waste.

 

I personally don't mess with the things. I don't like letting them lay, but they stink so bad I just can't bring myself to skin them out.

 

Eat 'em

 

yea skin em out, cut out the tenderloins, soak them in milk for a few hours in the fridge.. take them out and pour on some worcesterchire sauce, a1, and some red cooking wine, and let them sit like that a few more hours, roll in flour, fry them up and enjoy! hard to beat

 

I live in central Ohio. Anyone know of a local fur buyer that might purchase a coyote? If so, how much should I expect to get paid?

Thanks.

In Marysville, Richard Westfall buys fur. You can also look buyers up on line, but there's getting to be less of them around. Coyotes don't bring too much around here either , probably in the $15 range. It's hard for the eastern 'yotes to compete with the big, thick fur of the western dog.

You've lost your mind. They stink so bad, I don't even want to touch one, much less eat one. I throw em in the dumpster at work, or leave em lay.

 

Why not bury them. In summer a carcas wont last long with vulture's, *****, inscects and various other opportunistic animals present. In winter they could last quite some time. Lime thrown in the hole will help decompose them quicker. For all the maggot fisherman they would make for a fine maggot farm. S

Tastes Like Chicken

 

General Tso's Chicken maybe

To each his own but I don't understand why anyone would leave something lay that has any kind of value. If a 'yote is worth $10 and you kill only a couple a season that's $20 more to pay for gas, ammo etc. Good luck

 

My 16 year old son got a 44 pound male on 12/27 in a snare ......... the pelt measured 67 1/2" and has a beautiful reddish tint to it. He says it's going on his wall after getting tanned. So much for making money on these things !!Any others we get are getting stretched, dried, & sold.
We'll start the calling as soon as it freezes back up & hopefully get a couple more out of the local population.
Good hunting,
Tim

 

About how much is it to tan a Yote pelt?

 

I haven't checked yet, but I know to get a good "soft"(clothing) tan of a red fox last year it was right at $30 + shipping. I am considering doing it myself & "hard" tanning it by splitting down the belly, tacking down to plywood, and salting it down. Used to do that for rabbit pelts years ago & it was pretty simple ; not sure how well it would work for a yote though. I'll post when I find the prices for the various tans.

T-180 - The name Richard Westfall sure brings back memories. I'm sure thats the same guy I used to sell pelts to 30 years ago. Thats how I made my money when I was still in school. Didn't know he was still around. Real nice guy and always paid more than anyone else.

 

Orlando,
Dick Westfall has been around for quite a few seasons !!! I started selling to him in the 70's ; he was always fair , helpful , & didn't over grade everything. My 16 year old has started trapping now & he will probably sell to him unless we go to a OSTA auction.

Parma,
Looks like $30 for a 'yote tanning + shipping. Still looking for someone close to home, if possible

 

Thanks, seems reasonable.

 

here is my 1st coyote took it during the special weekend for shotgun !!

 

Nice shooting Joe W ..... that's a much smaller target than a deer. I feel that all of us deer hunters should shoot every coyote we get an opportunity on.

Hey guys, check out my photo gallery ...... there's 2 pix of my son's 'yote & it shows how big it was (my son's 5'10 or so)

 

I will take any coyote pelts if you are just going to let them go to waste! I am having somebody teach me how to preserve pelts, and i really would like a coyote pelt and would hate to see any go to waste. I am in northeast ohio area and will pick it up!!! Please email me at 'mulanda17 @ yahoo . com'! Thank you!!! Please please please get ahold of me to take them off your hands! If you arent going to use it, why waste it!??

 

I got one with my bow a few years ago and I consider it to be a pretty good trophy. I took it to a taxidermist and told him I just wanted to be able to tack it up on the wall. He said he could dry tan it so would be stiff not soft which works good for pinning up on the wall. It loooks great and I'm thinkin he charged me $90 to skin it and tan it.

 

Anyone here ever tried skinning yotes with an air compressor? Makes quick work of it! You have to do a little fleshing afterwards, but its way faster than the old way!

 

Prices for fur are in the dump...on the taxidermy forum I frequent they are practically a dime a dozen for full prime, skinned well, salted, AND shipped. Keep a few for youself, maybe even sell a few, and hide the rest discretely...after all, possums and ***** gotta eat too. Most places could benefit from a reduction in yote numbers so you shouldn't feel bad curbing their numbers.

 

I know this will upset a few people but I don't shoot them anymore for the reason Chip stated above. They aren't worth anything and none of the taxidermists around my area will even touch them. I called last year to have one mounted and every place i called said they won't do a yote no matter how good the pelt is. So I just let them walk, I've seen at least a dozen this year already and just couldn't bring myself to kill'em.

 

I heard some dealer got $70 for a stuffed one at a flea market(someone wanted it for a hunting cabin), but I'm sure it cost more than that to get it done!
