Not worth eating, that's for sure, besides the crows and buzzards need to eat to....and unfortunately, the worth of a coyote hide is very low, mostly because of the weak economy. You can skin it and have it tanned for a wall hanging for a reminider of your first, and maybe someday in the future, it will be worth more than the current market would pay.

The worth of coyote pelts does vary across the country. The colder regions up north have better quality pelts, and some color variations from back east may also bring better dollars. BUT for me, I've not been able to sell a pelt going on a 2nd season. BUT about 50% of the coyotes that I have been killing have had mange anyways, so they're obviously buzzard food anyways.
