Question for coyote hunters ...

[DLS]

For those of you who currently hunt the "coy" dog, what do you do with the critter after they are shot?

Years ago I paid for a number of semesters of college by hunting coyotes. At that time the was a market for the hides and the state was paying a bounty, so it was possible to turn a small profit.

Is there still a market for the pelts? Do you just let them lie like other varmints and let the scavengers have an easy meal? Something else?

I'd like to get back into this along with my daughter who had taken a serious interest in shooting and hunting in particular. Any advice on public access areas in the SW Washington area would be helpful too.

Thanks in advance!

Once I'm done absorbing it's soul, I dump the carcass. I use big game rifles that tend to cause lots of damage.

Dump them around the traffic barrels in NE Potland. Homeless gotta eat.

I'd use another word starting with the letter "D" … that word being DISTURBING!

You could tan the hides and give them as presents. I had one as a kid that we tanned ourselves and loved it. Perhaps there's a Scout troop who would like projects to learn tanning.

There is a leather worker in the Washougal area who is learning tanning and she's doing quite well at it. She may enjoy a Yote hide to work on, if you want to give her one. Her name is Ashley and her business name is Knotty Hide Leather https://www.knottyhide.com/
