Pretty neat! I usually catch a half dozen like that a year in one specific area. They do very poorly on the auction. Almost not worth skinning.

An you were getting ticked off at the guy tossing coyotes in the ditch. Those coyotes are worth money and good money at that. They may bot be the prettiest but nothing wrong with them at all.

Bazzinga!

It’s actually a very nice pelt other than it not being the colour that the market prefers. If it were mine I’d get it tanned just because I think it’s cool.

It’s just bigger because it was a big old male and the others in the picture were smaller females and juveniles.

YOU either need glasses or maybe thats the only quality of dogs you're accustomed to catching which is therefore understandable.
Bush trappers cant be choosy.

Nice looking dawgs the blond is different guard hair blends right in makes it hard too see
back brushing after turning helps under fur dry good practice especially if you have washed them
Nice job on put up should average over a hundred dollars a dawg not bad for dark northeren bush dawgs
Anyone throwing dawgs that look like that in the bush should take a long look in the mirror your ethics are in question
I will stick to my hillbilly ways the only ones i throw out are mangy or very badly rubbed animals not every one is going to be the perfect color would check the regs pretty sure you can be charged for wasting fur for that reason, and buy one persons comments should be
Wow has this site deteriorated in a hurry

Going back to degrading comments again I see .....
I am accustomed to catching quite a few coyotes Al and in 2 places in the province very far from each other.
I will say it again...... Those coyotes are worth the time to put up and worth good money!
I would question what you are throwing in the garbage!

Jawa, Yes, it's legal to shoot coyotes on private property and just throw them in the bush. You'd be surprised at how many landowners around here do exactly that. Buying those coyotes that would otherwise go to waste is a niche of mine.

Yes Dave a land owner or joe blow off the street can shoot coyotes on private property that you have permission on,and throw them in the bush.
where the law differs is when you take them under the authority of a trapping license you cant allow usable fur to go to waste
Same as a hunting license cant just toss a deer because he is not big enough for you a trapper cant throw animals away because the color isnt what they want the animal when taken under the authority of a trapping license can only be tossed if the animal is sick , and if the pelt is damaged beyond being salvagable
you can still be charged if damage is deemed to be caused by negligence on the trappers part
This is my understanding of the law correct me if im wrong

Your the guy that catches 50 coyotes and sends 10 in and brags about his 150$ average. Even if you get 30$ a dog still worth doing it.

Default Blonde yote

Usual hunt and trap south and east of Calgary, have not ran across one yet, if I do may get it done for the hunting camp.
To repect the animal you hunt, is to be a hunter, the only animals we dipose of are diseased, all other skinned and processed.
We only hunt, when the fur is good, the fur is valuable, why waste it?
My hunting pard, took the time to release some small this years, saying , as it was females--well thats 6 more for next year.
They can be hunted to extinction---Already there is a very long list in that regard.
