OK so you spend the time, money and make the perfect shot to drop that infamous yote, what next? Do you sell the fur, or tan the fur or what. Ive heard of bounties and fur markets but cant find them. Is this just rumors?

The fur markethelped build and discoverthis country... yeah it exists.

sell it, if its that infamous, someone will pay a pretty penny for the pelt, it may not just jump out at ya, but there will be somebody. my uncle shot a bobcat a few years ago, tanned the pelt, and had an offer for like $50, but he liked it and held onto it, he just sold it for $200, not a fortune, but well worht the time and effort.

In the past we have always sold directly to local fur buyers. I have always sold my dead coyotes in the round, unskinned. Although you get more money for skinned, strectched and dried, I have never taken the time to do all that and really don't have a suitable place to do it either. BUT last year we found a taxidermist that bought all of our coyotes, he then paid another guy to skin them and then he tanned them and sold them to a lady who was going to make throws with them. Last year we got $20 for each and every coyote that we sold, best price in years.

Thanks, I dont liking killing and letting them lay and havent heared of a good yote recipes lately. I've always heard of fur buyers but I really dont know where to find one. Can buyers be found on the net?

When it comes to yotes around here I would not think twice about leaving them if I could not get money for em. Around here a dead yote is a good yote. I really have a distaste for animals that kill for fun as well.

I'd keep the hide and put it in my room. As for the meat, I'd ditch it. Where I'm from, yotes are considered more as "varmint" than they are "predator."

Like I said I havent heard of a good way to cook yoteee, but it would be a fun trick to pull on my brother

Actually, my wife has this great recipe!! I'm just kiddin, I wander if you could use them as bait for more yotes after you skin them?

I'd mount the exceptionally great yote, the rest get piled up in the gut hole.
