Thanks for the response nomercy448,

I live in suburbia, which i hate so much so having a fur shed is out of the question. I asked the hunter that hunts in other states and he was firm that a "furbarn" was a location that you can drop of a dead animal non field dressed or skinned and they will pay you for it. I havent been able to get in touch with any hunting/trapping groups out here considering you have to travel 2-3 hours before you get to anywhere that does those activities regularly. Hence why I am on the net trying to pull together resources to start this up. Saying that I did find a game processor near me that processes all sort of weird meats that said they never have done Yote but are willing to give it a try. They will butcher it or make snack sticks or jerky out of it. They process deer, feral swine, bison, buffalo, alligator, ostritch and some other stuff as well. They do have a website as well if anyone wants it. I was shocked to find this place 15min from the house when you have to travel so far to hunt. We are the lowest zone for hunting (deer) in the state us being 100 deer killed in the zone next lowest being 2000. huge difference. Anyway. Just want to try the Yote once to say I did. If all else fails I have some locals saying that they will gladly pay for the meat to eat if i dont want it. And that is one of the conflicting info I have got. In some countries dog is a highly sought dish but just about every american will say no or never try it. From the reasearch I have done they carry less diseases then deer, just as gamey maybe a little tougher meat. Other then that it is like every other carnivour you eat (bear ,alligator, croc). I guess I will just find out when I get one.

I do have a question for those who do hunt Yote. I will be buying the savage arms 11/111 trophy hunter xp in 22-250 caliber but cant decide on the scope. it comes with either a nikon 3x9 BDC with the range finder built in or a bushnell 4x12 standard cross hairs. Its only a $50 difference just seeing which whould be a better option. And I just got my hunter safety card in the mail so I will be getting my hunting permit in the next week.
