Can't say that I have ever had any desire to eat a coyote. The ones I have shot smell terrible. With what they eat, I wouldn't think they would taste good at all. Maybe bring it to a Chinese restaurant and let them show you how to prepare it :-)

Unless you're in a survival situation, you wouldn't have any reason to eat a coyote

I wouldn't eat coyote but I would eat bobcat again.

It's interesting that some predators are good to eat while others not so much. For instance, mountain lion is supposed to be very good, yet coyotes and wolves are not desirable. Black bear can be good, but you never hear of anyone eating Grizzlies or brown bear.

It is interesting people will eat meat they only know came from a super market and nothing else about it. Yet they will turn their nose up at a coyote because it smelled while they skinned itand because of what they will eat at times.

It is meat properly taken care of stored then marinated seasoned and properly cooked is tasty like any other meat.

You also know the coyote was not fed growth hormones feed or feed full of anti bodies. Was not sick when you shot and butchered it either. Can you say the same for the beef you got at the grocery?

Actually you don't know either. A coyote could have scavenged a carcass that was fed hormones and they could have a disease that has not manifested symptoms at the time it was shot, but the disease thing is true with all wildlife. But hey if anyone wants to eat a coyote, have at it.

perception is everything. some love raw fish. I will not try it unless starving.
it will all make a turd and in the right circumstance each and every one of us, would eat anything we had to ,to survive. look to the donner party as an example. is there anything in nature that will eat such a variety, or that smells so bad as a human being.
just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I guess it has to be a difference in where you hunt the coyotes. In my area the farmers do not leave dead cattle where coyotes can get them. They usually call a company to come get the carcass to take some place to make glues and stuff with.
Many time you can see if a coyote looks healthy before the shot is taken.

I'd have to be at the very verge of starvation, at the brink of death, before I would even think of eating a yote, wolf or any scavengers and most any carnivores! By that time I'd probably be too weak to hunt or clean one.
Besides, in most survival situations, there would most likely be more palatable animals and vegetation available! I also agree that nothing is wasted in the woods and have no problem with thinning out predators and vermin! A carcass doesn't last 2 days in the woods!
However, to each his/her own! Eat whatever you will! But I'll take a rain check, thank you!
