    To be clear we were in the country on a trail I go on with my dogs often. The yote came straight at my dog. He had no pack with him. Thus the surprise about no rabies. He tore up Rugby a little but Rugby tore him up real bad. Then choked him out to death. Later on Rugby got to be too much for my in city back yard. Gave to a rancher friend. He made him into a hog dog. We shoot hogs out there and take ole' Rug. He has killed a couple hogs out there as well.

    ASLO in answer to Coiled: Not in the habit of putting down dogs or yotes unless the situation calls for it. This one did. IN MY MUCH younger days used to kill them for bounty where I grew up. $2.00 per set of ears. Ranchers got tired of losing new calves and down momma cows. Had an old .257 Roberts that worked well for that.

    My close call was while we were varmint hunting about 11pm and it was a cold night in December
    There was this yote we spotted about 120 yards out and he was heading for us, so I killed him with a .223 Bolt gun.
    Close call.;)

    Sounds like the poor little guy didnt have a sporting chance. Sniff sniff. Hope old Jerry Clower dont read this stuff up in Heaven. He would probably be incensed.

    I put them into two sets.

    1.
    The coyotes out in the wilds.
    They have a place in nature.
    They were here first.
    I have no desire to go out into their domain and find them with a thermal scope and kill them.

    2.
    The coyotes in urban habitats and the ones that kill farm animals.
    They kill small dogs and house cats and are devastating to young farm livestock.
    Humans are a more evolves species. Yes, we've moved into their space.
    When they thrive around domestic animals, farm animals and houses I will shoot them and have done so.

    Is it wrong that I take delight in a city-'yote jumping 4 feet straight up and making a hideous yipping sound when hit in the chest with a .22 Mag?
    So call P.E.T.A.

    Andrew Zimmern, the flaming chef/eater of bizarre foods, had an episode where he cooked and ate a coyote.

    He then went on to describe what a great meat coyote is...

    To each his .....blah, blah, hell maybe cooked it is good, but I dunno....maybe.

    I've eaten lion, gator, a billion other kinds of critter with one exception, I'll pass on armadillo as they carry and can pass on leprosy, but Zimmern eats it, probably doesn't know about the lep.....

    Heard about the leprosy thing, I've eaten a few armadillos. Pretty good cooked in the ground. Coon, really it was much like squirrel.

    The Meat Eater guy ate a coyote too. If any of you have not seen his show, its called Meat Eater, and they hunt and kill a critter, then show you how to cook it. They also have some cool stuff on YouTube.

    Armadillo Sauce Piquant.
    Had an uncle who made it every deer season at his camp.

    A "sauce piquant", served over rice, is famous in S. Louisiana for hiding lots of things that nobody but a coonass would eat.

    There's an old joke about "Mais, that's good, yeah! What is dat, hanh?". The answer:
    Road Kill Sauce Piquant.

    Cajun version of menudo, without rice ... the real stuff, the kind you get in one of those little dirt street towns a hundred miles South of the border.

    FO.

    Heard similar stories from military folks. My brother married a Filapino girl and brought her back to the states. Took her to my grandparents who raised GSD's, and she thought we were having a BBQ. My grandfather never forgave her, and never trusted her after that. lol

    Various cultures often loath what other cultures eat.

    Bacon and eggs for breakfast is something a big part of the world wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

    Different strokes and all that...

    There's quite a bit of literature about how wonderful they (and many mountain men) considered mountain lion to be.

    I have a friend who has eaten it, and said it was maybe the best meat he had ever eaten.

    Was served horse meat in France a couple of times.
    French seem to prefer the neck meat, and it was tasty.
    Would do it again if it was served, but not out of preference.
    Horse was reportedly a delicacy among the American Indian.
