You're on a deer stand, and a coyote comes by and its legal to shoot.

Would you ? Why ? Would you eat it ? Keep the fur ? The skull ?

Without question I would. I would take some pics and then take it back out in the woods for critter food. Way too many of them running around and the fawn mortality rate is out of control.

Yes.

Because they are overpopulated and we are their only natural predators and because they kill a large amount of quail and rabbitts and even deer.

No.

No.

In a hearbeat...

Would actually look into mounting it...well, I mean, take it to the taxidermist. Rob in PA had one done and it looks awesome.

Other reasons for killing a coyote have already been mentioned. Natural predetaor around these parts and one less coyote in our woods is a good thing.

Everytime I see one I attemp to shoot them. I have one hide ready to be picked up and the second one I shot went bad, my grandmother died and I didn't get it skinned in time. I have the skull to the first one on my shelf in the garage and the skull to the second one in the freezer. The bodies sometimes go into the back of a friends truck when he least suspects it!!
