....Coyotes that is! Should I call "Mr. Wolf" or what? Seriously though, what do you all do with varmit/predator bodies after the kill. I am not going to eat them, so what is the best way to get rid of them, and the wife is not going to let them sit in the garbage! I have never hunted Coyotes so I am just curious.
Thanks Edit: Poor Spelling |

Quoted:
here in Oregon it's technically illegal to leave the carcass where it ley. I put it in a garbage bag and leave it outside in a tote until garbage day. For varmints and predators? Where did you read that? If that's the case, there's an awful lot of dead sage rats and jackrabbits I need to go back and pick up.

In the winter I chuck them in my outdoor wood furnace. Burns good nothing left by morning (no bones) doesn't bring any others preditors around either.Last winter got rid of a wild Rottie that way. He had been terrorizing our neighborhood for months This is one of the coolest things I have ever heard in the Hunting Forum! |

It's the same way in Maine, you are supposed to bury any coyote carcasses. I'm sure that everybody does that

We leave the bodies for the turkey vultures and foxes to take care of. Both do a pretty decent job, so much so that it's illegal to shoot the vultures in MD b/c they're a better clean up crew then garbage men and street sweepers. Yeah buzzards go to eat to |
| Actually in Oregon it is illegal to fail to recover GAME animals. As coyote, nutria, opossum, jackrabbit, sage rat, rock chuck, etc. are all non-protected, non-game species you are not required to do anything. After about the first of May you would be hard pressed to get me to even TOUCH the jackrabbits I shoot. They are chock full of botfly larvae. Nasty stuff. look like a miniature version of those underground worms from the movie tremors. After the first time I sam one of those things crawl out of the eye socket of a freshly killed jack, I fiugred it was bes to leave em alone. I'll skin a few in the winter time after the first couple of freezes have killed the ones with parasites/disease, but otherwise they're food for some other critter. |
