Seth, Back when I was collecting a lot of urine, I was catching lots of coyotes, and was short of. feed. The easiest part to get off a coyote carcass is the front legs, and I was cutting the legs off with loppers back then, and just fed the shoulders. Just need to give them some carbs about once a week, ie as in a half loaf of bread each. Keeps them cleaned out and healthy!

Did they eat it after you boiled it?

Once I had two beaver carcasses in a wheelbarrow. My two water spaniels tipped it over and feasted on those carcasses.
One animal carcass they wouldn't touch was an otter. If I had otter carcasses in a wheelbarrow, they ignored them.


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

My dog would not eat chicken nuggets from McD's. He would not even take them out of your hand. No way he was eating a dead racoon, cooked or not. A live one you would have thought he was going to eat it, alive.

Coons never get eaten on my carcass pile. Muskrats and beaver get eaten first, then usually mink and fox, and sometimes coyote are eaten, but nothing ever touches the raccoons. I could set one out right now and it would still be there in March lol. Needless to say I’ve never been brave enough to cook one up.

I've ate BBQ coon. It was okay but I couldn't get the mental picture outta my mind. Can't do the lamb thing either. I don't think anyone that eats lamb is fat.
And I've always wondered about the first humanoid that saw a pig in a mudhole and thought "dang, that looks tasty!"
My first choice is grain fed beef, of course. Pork is good. Chicken is good. Turkey is good.

render the oil out of the fat that you scrape off of coon hides use the cooked fat for bait everything eats it even coon my dogs gorge themselves with it used it several years when i trapped some the best bait you will ever use have a guy doing adc work now that was having trouble catching them started using it slaying them now he used it in the past but ran out and was trying other baits

When I was young we fed boiled coon to our hounds a lot during the winter. We would boil it till the meat fell off the bones and then set on a simmer and add the cheapest chunk dogfood you could buy to the water until it formed a mush then we'd stir the whole thing up and ladel it out to them hot on a cold day. They would lick the bottom out of thier feed pan cleaning it up. I don't know whether wild coyotes will eat it or not as it's illegal to keep them live here as far as I know.

I am curious. I know Mark Culwell, bigfoot, pretty good. When he says his dogs gobbled it right up after its boiled you can believe him.

My grandma made coon dressing one time, it was good.
I fried a very young coons legs and took it to work , a friend and I eat it and it was very good.
When I got it out of the freezer I thought it was rabbit legs that I had put up.

I have had coyotes steal a coon caught in a conibear twice in my years of trapping. From went on at the set, Both times it looked like two or three pups that found a free meal. The first time they took the 220 and. coon about two hundred yards, the second time it was cabled off to some brush and just a few bones and skin in the trap. I have also had yotes eat a coyote out of a trap, but in areas of heavy populations.
