Do the coyotes still have their winter coats with this warm weather? (Southern Alberta)
 
Dunno if that is a stupid question or not?

I wanna get out after some coyotes (hunting) and wanted to know if I'm gonna get a decent pelt if I connect with any?

Thanks

Max

Yup, it really doesn’t matter anyways as pelts are with nothing right now!

They are past prime. If you look in the trapping regs there a chart that shows when animals are in prime for reference.

OK sweet thanks. I don't want to sell them, just enter one or two for home decor

I will grab a copy of the trapping regs when I'm at Cabela's today

Will the cold snap that's coming in this weekend make a difference or is it literally just time of year that affects the quality?

Mostly time of year.

Getting a huge variety from mangy to excellent. They are still very prime down south.Got one yesterday that would be in the top lot.

Coyote man, sad to have a Top Lot coyote and have to give it away for $40.

They'll be thinking about breeding very shortly, not good for fur condition.

Go shoot Sone, calling coyotes is fun regardless of fur price or quality.

That's what I'm thinking :)

It is painful to see the prices where they are for sure. Have ridden out a few of these low value coyote cycles but not sure I ll ride this one out at my age. The upside is that calling coyotes is almost as good as when I started calling fifty years ago.
