can you eat coyote?

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

My folks are having problems with the local coyote population, and there is a bounty on coyots there, so me and a few folks are going to go coyote hunting here pretty soon. I was just wondering if coyote is edible, and / or what it tastes like (is it worth the hassle).

The ears will be taken off for bounty, and we are gonna see about skinning them, but hate to waste the meat if it's edible.

You are a very interesting person.

There are some coyotes in this area work I work (Rye, NY), 2 or 3 attacks this year.

If someone killed one and there was a barbeque of it, I'd eat some.
But ovbiuously this isn't likely to happen.

I would totally eat the hell out of some coyote, if given the chance. Not that I have, I just like eating new things (especially animals).

Ask an asian person. They probably have the most relevant experience with these things. :hmm:

Failing that, it probably makes a decent stew?

Tastes great, but finding the right wine, there's the rub.

I suppose almost anything is edible, I certainly wouldn't eat any type of cannine. I'm sure in some third world country it's probably a delicacy

 

[sandorski]

Why not?

 

[fatpat268]

Just curious... why wouldn't you think it's edible?

Rabies?

 

[JulesMaximus]

I don't eat dog...

Coyotes are pretty mangy looking animals. That might fly in a Shanghai back ally but I wouldn't.

Taste like dog. Flavor's a bit too strong in my opinion especially if it's not fresh, but decent if you make a stew out of it with certain spices like lemon grass or made into curry.

I know a lot of people who hunt them for their pelts. Never heard of anyone eating them though. Learn how to skin them correctly - a well skinned pelt is worth far more than a poorly skinned pelt.

I thought they are susceptible to rabies?

Eat rabbit instead. Eating a coyote would be like eating a dog,...

The ears are what you turn in to collect the bounty... Welcome to Lee County, Texas.

I've lived in Texas all my life and I've never know anybody that ate coyote. Although they are frequently used as fence post decorations

They are quite the scoorge to cattle ranchers

 

[God Mode]

grind them up and sell it as pet food. $$$$

Of course it's edible. No idea what it tastes like. Probably like a dog, whatever that tastes like.

 

[Jesusthewererabbit]

They don't eat it even in Mexico, so there's no way in hell I would. They are the nastiest, smelliest animals this side of a skunk. Plus, rabies and the fact that they are scavengers as well as hunters. Nasty bastards.

i am asian. i would still not eat a coyote.

 

[0roo0roo]

dolly parton claims she used to eat possum, so i don't see why not.

as long as its fresh...

in texas they are trying to encourage eatingi of some wild hog or something

 

[ivan2]

they are basically wild dogs, of course they are edible.
