What to do with the yotes you shoot?

[Stocker]

I’ve drove thru Springview a small handful of times. I would imagine there IS A BUNCH OF irresponsible mixing of drinking, driving, and shooting coyotes going on out there.

FIFY

I skin and finish them. Daughters help so it’s not a fast process but it’s fun

That’s how it’s done… or you can waste your hides and watch YouTube. While watching YouTube, you can also waste your mind and body. Dry your hides ffs.

I just drop them off to closest fur buyer whole. Sometimes get few bucks but at least pelt is used.

Stretched and dried here too.
Even at $25 we'll put them up and sell them.

Not near as successful on the trap line as brockel though. Nice work !

Growing up my dad’s neighbor was a trapper till the market crashed. He still called and trapped for fun most of the winter, but would just put all his hides in the attic. Before the market crashed 3-10 coyotes were hanging from his fence every morning. After the crash he’d go call a couple times a month, and maybe run a handful of traps a few weeks a year. He had winch attached to stainless steel table and would skin them in a few minutes each. It was cool to watch as a kid. How long it took him to completely process them I do not know. After the crash he said every time the market would hit $30 he would sell enough boxes out of the attic to make room for the next few years’ pelts. Not so many years ago he retired from plumbing and got into buying furs and taking them to the auction himself. He showed me over 300 bobcats stretching in a drying room. When it was all over he said he hardly made anything. He introduced my dad and I to calling coyotes. There’s not much like seeing one come in to a call.
