what to do with a dead coyote
 

ive never gotten one but lets say i did...what should i do with it? i dont have money to do a full body mount right now but what are some other options? and also, can you eat the meat and if so is it any good?

I have seen some old-timers make sausage out of them (tried it), but personally I wouldn't touch the meat as a general rule. Coyotes are known to be highly parasitic, especially thier intestinal tract.

A head mount/pedistal mount is nice. I am waiting to get one back from the taxidermist. Also, a mount not commonly seen is a rug with felt border, and the head in open mouth pose (like a bear rug, etc.) These options might cost you around 400 bucks.

I skin them out and keep the pelts. Haven't rugged one yet but that thought has crossed my mind a time or two.

Skin it and send it to me:D

ok since most of you are saying to skin it, do you do it like you would to a deer? or is there a special way?

Oh, god. Dont eat it. Whoever makes sausage out of them has a mental problem.

If the bullet doesn't exit (.22 HP) the pelts bring from $18 to $20.

About, the meat, find an Asian Market and they will buy a fresh kill.
