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. |

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 |

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.

Looks more like a southern prairie dog.

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 |

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! |
I like it ! Very cool nice trophy hang it on the wall in camp.

I had to check.....I’ve had oddly coloured coyotes that couldn’t be categorized in any of the different NAFA auction colours. No blondes though. Just last auction I had one that graded XL-LGE II (no colour) 1-4 that sold for US$66. For +$80/coyote I’ll put them up until my arms fall off. :lol:
I’ll ask the fella what he gets for it next auction. |

Here’s one for you Dave. The coyote on the left is a xxl. I had to use a extended stretch to do the one on the right.

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. |
I think this one weighed 83 pounds. I caught a number of these large ones west of red deer. The largest was one I shot north of sylvan lake that crawled in it a culvert. I had to crawl in and get it. Made sure it was dead first. It weighed 107 pounds. Showed it to a couple of old boy trappers from the area who figured it was crossed with a wolf. They told me it was not the first one that they had seen in the area.

Thats a dandy, 107lbs, I think for the most part ones to the south dont go over 50 lbs.
The old rail lines have in many places 12 in culverts, I have lost two, this past couple of years, in those culverts, just bad luck to hit them near the entrances. I came back with a light, and strong cord, attached a heavy hook, and cut a long slender sapling, just out of reach. Dog gone a couple of hundred lost, both running shots. |

https://youtu.be/66diqhTMv7k Could it happen in Alberta? I don’t see why not. A hundred years ago there were no coyotes north of Edmonton here. As the wolves were pushed farther north the territory opened up to coyotes and they made their way up here. Those big coyotes had to have been hybrids of some sort and a coyote/wolf hybrid wouldn’t surprise me at all. |

best way i've come up with anyhow. |
Built a tool out of 1 inch pvc pipe. 8 pieces of 6 foot pipe threaded to screw together. At the one end I built 2 different heads. One with a hook the other a brush made from barbed wire. Use it to pull critters out of culverts or beaver from pond.
When I was up at Dawson City we were told that the coyotes had moved in. Saw a couple on the father in laws old mine and was way bigger than our dogs but definitely a coyote. Here’s a picture of that coyote after tanning. |
